Boyland: took that on 9/9/79. Another one of these "photo identification" shortcuts - when you see gray, washed out box seats in the background at Shea Stadium, that's 1979 or earlier. When you see newish red or other-colored box seats in the background, that's 1980 or later.

Can't be certain on the Topps images but it's consistent in terms of lighting (and uniform top/bottom mix) with others from spring training 1980.
