I watched that game on TV.  When Schmidt came up, you just knew what he was going to do.

On this date in 2003...

Not bad.  But Butkis would have made sure he didn't get up again.

I don’t know if hard feelings between San Diego and the Cubs go back to May 22, 2009 when the Padres celebrated the 25th anniversary of their 1984 World Series team but I sure remember being at Petco that night. 
 
Padres radio announcer Jerry Coleman was the emcee and said something like this as he got started “I know there are some Cubs fans here tonight who might not like us doing this while  you are in town but you can just shutup”.
 
Even a couple of Padre players were quoted in the San Diego paper the next morning as saying “that was cold”.
 
During the player introductions, Steve Garvey was loudly booed and Dave Dravecky got a long ovation.
 
The Padres won the game 4-0 behind Jake Peavey who had 10 Ks.  Every time he got a K they blasted “Another One Bites the Dust”.   The Padres went on to sweep the series.

41 minutes worth listening to

Gary Matthews may have been interfered with by a fan down the left field line.  The location looks familiar.

The first play on the video, Davis throwing the ball into CF on Ozzie Smith's steal of second.... I have to wonder whether Baez would have not only caught the ball Bowa let get by him, but tagged Smith out.

I don't really remember Bowa as having a particularly weak arm, but what we saw in Bowa might be one of the reasons Dunston's arm seemed so amazing.
