Wrigley Field
Back
You won’t be able to hear Harry Cary sing, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” anymore, but you will still feel his enthusiasm at Wrigley Field when you see the Cubs play next season. Wrigley Field was built in 1914 and is the second-oldest ballpark in the majors behind Boston's Fenway Park (1912). Some classic moments in baseball history have taken place at Wrigley. Starting with the great May 2, 1917, pitching duel between Jim “Hippo” Vaughn and the Reds' Fred Toney… both Vaughn and Toney threw no-hitters for 9.0 innings before Cincinnati’s Jim Thorpe (of Olympic fame) drove in the only run in the 10th inning… Toney finished with a no-hitter. Babe Ruth’s “called shot,” when Ruth allegedly pointed to a bleacher location during Game 3 of the 1932 World Series… Ruth then hit Charlie Root’s next pitch for a homer. Gabby Hartnett's famous “Homer in the Gloamin’ ” September 28, 1938, vs. Pittsburgh's Mace Brown. And many other legendary moments. A must see for all Baseball fans. We are still mad at Billy Sianis who bought seats for his pet goat and himself during the World Series back in 1945. It started to rain and Wrigley Field started to smell like wet goat. Gross, right? Well, Billy and his goat were ejected, but Sianis cursed the Cubs. He stated that they would never win a World Series, and so far the Cubs have not broken the curse.
