Happy 100th to Wrigley Field

[rsmath]

Not sure where rsmath got his info...


1) Fenway Park, Boston – 1912

2) Wrigley Field, Chicago – 1914

3) Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles – 1962

where are the baseball historians?

Sydney Cricket Ground - 1882

hosted 2 MLB games... this year!!!!

mindblowing also in that it pre-dates fenway by 30 years and wrigley field by 32 years.

I will be there today.

Taking my little girl to her first game, so I figured with the festivities and everything else, today is the perfect time to go.

Hope you have a great time.
I'm willing to say that though I've never been to Wrigley, that it has always been there for me

Most fitting 9th Inning EVER? Ugh...

 

[ChasHawk]

yep. and it's mindblowing to me from a historical perspective that not even Wrigley or Fenway are the oldest parks that MLB is played in!

And 1,000s of games were played in older parks that no longer exist.

A couple games hosted does not a mlb park make.

Most fitting 9th Inning EVER? Ugh...

Yeah, that was pretty XXXXing weak.

Let's not Validate another DUMB Bud idea with this record...

And the amazing part of today's 9th Inning implosion is that they got Arizona's best player, Goldschmidt, out in the middle of all that! :lol:

 

[ChasHawk]

What's happened?

Bullpen gave up 5 runs in the top of the 9th.

Reed came in and got the Cubs 1-2-3 in the bottom half.

Must be rough being a Cubs fan these days.Baez, Almora, or Bryant can close too, right?

Was a great day at Wrigley today, despite the loss.

Here's a 1914 postcard from my collection that shows the view exactly 100 years ago today.

And here's my attempt to recreate the scene today.

Some other photos:

View from Press Box

Banners above Right Field Entrance Gate

Pre-Game Ceremony. Some of the athletes standing on the field include Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Andre Dawson, Randy Hundley, Milt Pappas, Ryan Dempster,

Fans received a birthday cupcake and a replica 1914 Chicago Federals jersey

As an ex-Chicagoan "born and raised " Left in 1994, and an ex-Cub fan " finished in October 2003" The weather always SUCKED, Wrigley Field is a SHI t hole. Happy 100th now time to tear it down and start fresh. They will never ever win in that park, in that part of town, EVER!

I"m glad the baseball gods did their job - what would a Wrigley 100th celebration be without a cubs loss since you can look up losing in the dictionary and there is a pic of the Cubs logo.
