Wrigley Field as god intended it: two-thirds empty and filled with the drunk and unemployable.
Wrigley Field Chicago (1935)
In 1935, Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, was already an iconic ballpark in the city. Built in 1914 and originally known as Weeghman Park, the stadium was renamed Wrigley Field in 1927 after the chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. By the mid-1930s, the ballpark had become synonymous with Chicago baseball, known for its ivy-covered outfield walls, hand-operated scoreboard, and passionate fans. The 1935 season was particularly memorable as the Cubs won the National League pennant, bringing excitement and hope to the city. Wrigley Field, with its historic charm and storied past, remains one of the most beloved baseball stadiums in the country.
