Who's at bat, part three

A variation on the theme. I would think most people can identify the two people in this photo. But there is a batter who put the ball into play. The ball was hit to second baseman Tommy Herr. The batter is going to be out to complete an inning-ending double play. Who was the batter?

And I thought that this was going to get easier.

It would be easier if it was a color photo because the Cards switched from powder blue to gray in 1985.

As Eric said, on May 9, 1985.

I do love playing detective on old baseball photos.

Who can figure out the date of game, batter's name, and pitcher's name for this famous photo of the Yankees' home field? (Hint: It ain't 1906.)
