Built in 1914 as Weeghman Park for the Federal League Chicago Whales, this became the Cubs' home in 1916 and took the Wrigley name in 1926. Bill Veeck planted the outfield ivy in 1937 and put up the center-field scoreboard, which is still operated by hand from inside. No home run has ever hit it. Lights did not arrive until August 1988 — the last in the majors — and the first night game was rained out in the fourth inning. The rooftops across Waveland and Sheffield have been watching the game.
