Getty Images gives us these details about this photo:
John Milner #28 of the New York Mets stretches to take the throw at first base against the Chicago Cubs during a Major League Baseball game circa 1974 at Shea Stadium in the Queens borough of New York City.
Right away I can tell you that’s not correct. That’s Don Kessinger running to first base, and the only year the Cubs wore the uniforms shown here, with the red-white-and-blue piping on the sleeves, was 1972.
So this photo has to be from that year.
The Cubs played nine games against the Mets at Shea in 1972.
