This was famously one of the most thrilling LCS of its era. This photo captures some of the excitement of that series, but it doesn't come from that series. All of the postseason games in Philadelphia in 1980 were at night. Mike Schmidt's beard indicates that this is 1980. It looks like Greg Luzinski just hit a home run. He hit 19 in 1980, 15 at home. Only two of those were in day games, May 3 and May 4 against the Dodgers. On Saturday the third the Phillies rolled to a 7-3 victory. On May 4 Philly came back from 9-0 down to tie the game, but Dickie Noles imploded in the top of the 9th, and LA escaped with a 12-10 win.
I vaguely remember seeing Schmidt with a beard. Had to look it up on COMC. Looks like he has a pair of cards in the 1982 Fleer set with it.
