Wrigley Field

This guide to Wrigley Field in Chicago opens with an outfielder losing a fly ball inside a wall of ivy, and the odd local ground rule a lost ball triggers. It traces the vines back to 1937 and the competing stories the Cubs have told about who really planted them, including a young executive's disputed legend. You'll also hear about the lake wind that can turn this park into one of baseball's easiest hitting grounds, or one of its stingiest, from game to game.
