Anniversary Souvenir. Limited Edition. Wrigley Field, Chicagos
field of dreams… Built in 1914, Wrigley Field is the last of the
jewel box designed ballparks that were popular in the early part
of the 20th century. It is now the only professional ballpark
with an ivy-covered wall. Although Wrigley Field has been home of
the Cubs since 1916, it has yet to see the Cubs win a World
Series. The last World Series won by the Cubs (1908) happened
while the Cubs called West Side Park home. The Chicago Bears of
the National Football League played at Wrigley Field from 1921 to
1970 before relocating to Soldier Field. This marvelous DVD
captures moments from the past 100 years that will be cherished
by all Cub fans! Unforgettable Moments Include: Hand-turned
Scoreboard; Winds of Wrigley Field; Walls of Vines; Roof-top
Fans; Bleacher Bums; Take Me Out to the Ballgame; Billy Goats
