Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field is truly one of the most historic stadiums in
baseball. Built in 1914, this stadium is the second oldest ballpark
in baseball. Boston's Fenway Park has has it beat by two years.
In it's 90 seasons of baseball it has seen, Babe Ruth's "called
shot", Pete Rose's 4191st career hit and two no hitters,
in the same game! Among it's many events, the stadium's main
draw is the Chicago Cubs.
