• Built in 1914 (Second-oldest major league
  ballpark in the U.S.)
• Originally named Weegham Park, until it was
  bought by William Wrigley Jr. (of the chewing gum
  family) and renamed Cubs Park in 1920. It was
  renamed again in his honor in 1926.
• Last major league ballpark to add lights to the
  stadium. The first night game was played on
  August 8th, 1998. It was rained out after 3 ½
  innings.
• Site of Babe Ruths famous called shot, when he
  allegedly pointed to the right field bleachers
  during the 1932 World Series, then hit the next
  pitch for a home run.
