I have looked at this card before and I don't think that is a bunt. Looks like a weakly hit ground ball (maybe back to the pitcher) and Schmidt is starting to run and drop his bat.
Cardinal fans will remember a key moment late in the season in 1982 at a game in Veteran's Park when Schmidt came up to face Bruce Sutter with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. I think the Cardinals were up by one. Sutter induced a 1-2-3 double play to end the game. A big moment in their World Series winning year.
Sorry non Cardinal fans for I digress!
