Wrigley Field is a stadium that opened in 1914. It has primarily served as the home field of the Chicago Cubs professional baseball club for over nine decades, but it also hosted football games and other events in its 100 years of existence.

1910s

1914

  • April 23 the
    Chifeds played the first game at the brand-new Weeghman Park. After parades and ceremonies, the Chifeds defeated the visiting Kansas City Packers
    9–1.

1915

1916

1917

1918

1919

  • September 21
    Boston Braves 3–0 in a 58-minute game. This is fastest nine-inning game in Cubs franchise history.[1]

1920s

1920

1921

1922

  • July 12, 1922: Cubs Park hosts its first concert. Lights were brought in to illuminate the field, and a platform and sound board was set up over the infield for an orchestra performance.[1]
  • August 25, 1922: The Cubs defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 26–23 in what remains (through 2009) the highest-scoring game in major league history (49 runs total). After spotting the Phillies an early 2–1 lead, the Cubs score 10 in the second and 14 in the fourth, leading 25–6 at that point. The Phillies outscore the Cubs 17–1 during the last five innings, but the Cubs hang on to win in the ninth (with the potential lead run at the plate), avoiding what would have been the most lopsided comeback in history (the Phillies will save that effort for a game here in 1976). The winds apparently shift the next day, as the Cubs lose to the Phils 3–0.

1923

  • In 1923 the park hosted the annual rivalry game between the Illinois and Northwestern college football teams. This was the first time the game had ever been played in Chicago.[2]

1924

  • October 1, 1924: WGN broadcasts its first baseball game from the park, the first Chicago professional game ever broadcast on radio, with A.W. Kaney commentating. The Cubs were hosting the White Sox, and won 10–7. The Chicago Cubs arguably led the way among MLB teams when it came to adopting the medium of radio broadcasting. Many major-league owners in the 1920s had been reluctant to adopting radio (fearing that fans tuning into games would quit attending at their ballparks), while William Wrigley Jr. correctly believed that radio would actually bring in more spectators excited from what they heard on the radio. "The more outlets, the better." he told players. "That way we'll tie up the entire city." By the mid-1920s five different stations were transmitting home games from Wrigley Field. During the 1931 season as many as 7 Chicago radio stations carried Cubs from Wrigley Field, as the team charged no broadcast fee.[1][3]

1925

1926

  • December 3, 1926: Board of Directors votes to officially rename the park "Wrigley Field" in honor of William Wrigley Jr. It was the second ballpark with this name, as Wrigley's minor league team, the Los Angeles Angels, also played at a Wrigley Field.[1]

1927

  • April 12, 1927: Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10–1 before 42,000 attendees for the first game in the newly renamed 'Wrigley Field'[1]
  • May 31, 1927: Wrigley Field hosts the junior welterweight boxing championship. Mushy Callahan defeated Spug Meyers for the title.[1]

1928

1929

  • September 1929: Doubleheader sets a single-day record with 81,000 in attendance.[1]
  • September 18, 1929: The Cubs clinch the National League pennant, losing their game, but the second place team also loses and is eliminated on the same day.
  • Oct. 8, 1929: Wrigley Field hosts its first World Series game between the Cubs and Philadelphia Athletics. Temporary bleachers were constructed above Waveland and Sheffield to host the nearly 51,000 spectators in attendance.

1930s

1930

  • June 28, 1930: Cubs draw a record 51,556 fans for their game hosting Brooklyn.[1]
  • September 28, 1930: Hall of Famer Hack Wilson sets an MLB record with his 190th and 191st runs of the season. His RBI record stands to this day.[1]

1931

  • June 21, 1931:
    Glasgow Celtic, one of the most celebrated European soccer clubs, beat the Bricklayers, a Chicago-area team, 6-3 before 11,000 spectators at Wrigley Field.[1]
  • Fall of 1931: Chicago Cardinals move from Comiskey Park to Wrigley Field. The Chicago Cardinals and Chicago Bears football teams shared Wrigley until the Cardinals left after 1939.[1]

1932

1933

1934

1935

  • September 1935: From September 4 through September 28 the Chicago Cubs have a 21-game winning streak (tied for the second longest in MLB history, and the longest excluding ties). The majority of the games in this winning streak were at Wrigley.[3]

1936

1937

1938

1939

1940s

1940

1941

  • December 8, 1941: The day following the Attack on Pearl Harbor, owner P.K. Wrigley donates 165 tons of steel that had been intended for the construction of lights at Wrigley Field to the U.S. war effort.[1] The Chicago Cubs would not host a night game until 8/8/1988.
  • December 21, 1941: Two weeks after Pearl Harbor, the Bears win the NFL Championship Game, over the New York Giants, 37–9.
  • April 26, 1941: Cubs become the first team to have an organ play inside their ballpark.[1]

1942

1943

1944

1945

1946

  • June 1946: For 5 afternoons and evenings Wrigley hosted a rodeo and thrill circus including some of the world's best riders. There were over 900 that participated in riding bulls and broncos and rope tricks and stunts.[1]

1947

  • July 8, 1947: 1947 MLB All-Star Game.[3] A.L. 2, N.L. 1.
  • 1947: First year that all Cubs home games were televised. WBKB broadcast every Cubs home game from Wrigley that year.[1]

1947

  • May 18, 1947: Most attended regular-season game in Wrigley Field's history (46,572), largely to see Jackie Robinson play his first game in Chicago for the visiting Dodgers.[1]

1948

  • May 31, 1948: The Cubs set a paid attendance record when 46‚965 pass through the turnstiles for a doubleheader with the Pirates. The Cubs take the opener‚ 4–3 behind reliever Bob Rush‚ then drop the nitecap‚ 4–2 to Elmer Riddle. Andy Pafko is the hitting star‚ pounding out five hits‚ including a homer in each game.[5]

1949

1950s

1950

1951

  • April 17, 1951: Professional golfer Sam Snead hit a ball over the center-field scoreboard.[1] He's the only person to do this, even if he did it by driving a golf ball rather than hitting a baseball.

1952

1953

1954

1955

  • May 12, 1955:
    Sam Jones pitches a 4–0 no-hitter over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the hard way: he walks the bases full in the 9th inning, and then strikes out the side.[1]

1956

1957

1958

  • May 13, 1958: Stan "The Man" Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals achieves his 3000th career hit, in a pinch-hitting role. This deprives Cardinals fans of the chance to see him reach this milestone at home, but Harry Caray's ecstatic voice describes the action for listeners of the Cardinals radio network – Caray's future status as a Cubs icon unsuspected by anyone.

1959

  • May 17, 1959: Though it won't prevent the Cubs from salvaging a split in today's twin bill vs. Pittsburgh, Roberto Clemente's 9th-inning, bases-empty, 520-plus-foot blast instantly makes Wrigley Field history—the first ever to clear the diagonal fence behind the center field bleachers, just to the left of the 1937-vintage hand-operated scoreboard. And though its prodigious nature will be all but forgotten over time, reduced to becoming one part of the answer to a scoreboard-related trivia question, several distinguished Wrigley Field regulars are on hand to bear witness to this blast's longest-HR status: manager Bob Scheffing, slugger Ernie Banks and batting coach Rogers Hornsby, as well as broadcaster Jack Brickhouse, who also calls this the hardest hit ball he's ever seen that was unaided by wind.
  • June 30, 1959, in one of the wackier moments in baseball history, an umpire's mistake results in two baseballs being in play at the same time. The visiting St. Louis Cardinals file a protest, but withdraw the protest after winning the game. Thus the two-baseball play is allowed to stand.
  • August 28-September 7, 1959 Wrigley Field hosted the baseball component of the 1959 Pan American Games.

1960s

1960

  • May 15, 1960
    Moose Moryn
    made a running, shoetop catch for the final out.

1961

  • May 28, 1961 a literal case of a "fireman" garnering a "save" for the Cubs occurred. During a contest with the San Francisco Giants, a hot dog stand near the right field corner caught fire, and Wrigleyville's Fire Engine House #78 (built in 1915) is called in from its "bullpen" across Waveland to extinguish the blaze.

1962

  • July 23, 1962 Wrigley Field 'went international', as Telstar transmitted images from the Phillies-Cubs game (patched into the WGN-TV coverage) to overseas receiving stations.[1]
  • July 30, 1962 the second 1962 Major League Baseball All-Star Game (two were played each year 1959–1962) was played at Wrigley Field. Americans 9, Nationals 4.[1] The last time the center field bleachers are open to fans, in the park's baseball configuration.

1963

  • December 29, 1963: The Bears win the NFL Championship over the New York Giants, 14-10, on a bright, clear and frigid Sunday afternoon (it was 9 °F (−13 °C) at kickoff).[1]

1964

1965

1966

  • September 21, 1966: A paid attendance of only 530 fans,[8] the smallest crowd in the history of Wrigley Field, watches the Cubs defeat the Cincinnati Reds 9–3 on a Wednesday afternoon, near the end of a season that saw the Cubs lose 103 games and finish in 10th place.

1967

  • February, 1967: Cubs announce they will feature music and play the national anthem before every home game. Prior to this, the national anthem only was played for holidays and special occasions at Wrigley field.[1]
  • July 2, 1967: Cubs defeat the Cincinnati Reds 4–1, and move into first place. This was the first time since 1945 that the Cubs were in first place this far into the season.[1]

1968

1969

1970s

1970

1971

1972

  • April 16, 1972 Burt Hooton pitched a no-hitter 4–0 win over the Phillies. This was his fourth career start, and he was the first NL rookie in 60 years to throw a no-hitter. The season had started late due to a players' strike, and this one came on the second day of the season.[1][3]
  • September 2, 1972 Milt Pappas pitched a no-hitter 8–0 win over the San Diego Padres. He came within one strike of a perfect game, but walked a batter. The pitch called as a ball was highly controversial. Milt Pappas and many Cubs fans alike believe the pitch was a strike, not a ball. Pappas, after this, retired the final batter.[1] After a relative rash of Wrigley and Cubs no-hitters, this was the last by a Cub until Carlos Zambrano did so against the Astros, in a game held at Milwaukee due to Hurricane Ike.

1973

1974

1975

1976

  • April 14, 1976: Dave Kingman of the New York Mets hit what, more than 40 years after the fact, would remain one of the three or four longest documented home runs in Wrigley Field's history (another of which—a near-carbon-copy of this blast launched on May 17, 1979—was also Kong's handiwork). Carrying far beyond Waveland Avenue, the ball traveled more than 520 feet before striking a window pane several houses in on Kenmore Avenue.[9]
  • April 17, 1976, with a strong prevailing southerly breeze, the Cubs took a 13-2 lead over the Phillies through 4 innings, only to finally lose 18–16 in 10 innings, as the Phillies tied the NL record for the largest lead overcome. Tied at 15–15, the Phillies scored three in the 10th, partly on the strength of Mike Schmidt's 4th home run of the game, and the Cubs were only able to come back with one in their half of the 10th. This allowed the Phillies to tie the National League record for largest deficit overcome (11 runs).

1977

  • July 28, 1977 Cubs and Cincinnati Reds tied the NL record for most home runs in a single game (11). The Cubs beat the Reds 16–15 in the 13-inning game.[1]

1978

1979

  • May 17, 1979, in another windblown game with the Phillies (echoing the high-scoring Cubs-Phillies games of 1922 and 1976), the Phillies took a large lead only to have the Cubs catch them in the late innings. However, like 1976, Mike Schmidt did the Cubs in again, hitting a homer (his second of the day) in the 10th (off Bruce Sutter) to give the Phillies a 23–22 win. Dave Kingman hit three homers that day in a losing cause. In a curious mix of nostalgia and masochism, the following winter WGN-TV will replay the entire game videotape, as a "snow day" special.

1980s

1980

1981

  • June 16 the
    Tribune Company announced their purchase of the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field.[1]
  • June 28 the
    New York Cosmos 6-5 in front of 30,501 attendees. With the Cubs having a poor season. This was the second highest attendance at Wrigley that year behind the Cubs home opener.[1]

1982

  • August 18 the Cubs lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 2–1 in a 21-inning contest, the longest game ever played at Wrigley Field and in Cubs history (by time). The game had been suspended due to darkness at the end of the 17th inning the previous afternoon. The game lasted six hours and ten minutes.[1] Dusty Baker drove in the winning run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the 21st.
  • August 22 Ernie Banks' number 14 was retired by the Cubs at Wrigley Field.[1]

1983

  • April 29, following a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cubs manager Lee Elia unleashed a profanity-laced verbal tirade against Cub fans, suggesting they were unemployed losers (in 1983, home games were still played exclusively during the day, when many individuals would be at their day jobs). At the time the Cubs were 5–14 on the season, and the team was the subject of frequent booing and heckling. Elia was fired in August, partly due to the bad blood resulting from his comments.[1]
  • June 10 Ferguson Jenkins pitched a four-hit complete game shutout against the reigning World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. This game, which was Jenkins' 281st career win, was witnessed by 37,024 fans—which was the largest crowd at Wrigley in nearly two years. The game would turn out to be the last hurrah for the 39-year-old pitcher. Toward the end of the season, Jenkins was demoted to a relief pitching role, and was released the following spring with 284 lifetime victories.
  • August 24 Cubs pitcher Chuck Rainey came within one out of pitching a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds' Eddie Milner singled with two outs in the ninth inning to break up Rainey's gem. Rainey wound up with a one-hit victory over the Reds, 3–0.

1984

  • June 23 "The Sandberg Game" took place. This game was a nationally televised Saturday game against the Cardinals that put Ryne Sandberg on the map, and came to symbolize the season for the Cubs, who would go on to win their first title of any kind since 1945. The Cubs overcame deficits of 7–1, 9–3, and 11–9 as Sandberg hit a pair of game-tying home runs in late-inning action, both off ex-Cubs ace Bruce Sutter, a wild one eventually won by the Cubs 12–11 in 11 innings. ESPN replayed significant portions of the game prior to Sandberg's Hall of Fame induction in 2005, which show Sutter turning and shouting "Damn!" to himself when Sandberg hit the second one. However, Sutter later credited that replaying with helping him achieve his own Hall of Fame election the following year.[1][3]
  • August 7, with the Cubs en route to a four-sweep over the Mets in an intense playoff race, Cubs player Keith Moreland rushed the mound and roll-blocked Mets pitcher Ed Lynch, causing a notable Bench-clearing brawl.[1]
  • October 2, the Cubs clobbered the San Diego Padres 13–0 in the first game of the National League Championship Series. It was the Cubs' first postseason appearance since 1945. The Cubs combined for five home runs, including one by pitcher Rick Sutcliffe.[1]

1985

  • September 8 Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds collected his 4,190th and 4,191st career hits in the first and fifth innings respectively. Rose had a chance at his 4,192 in the top of the ninth, but with dark clouds closing in, fireballing reliever Lee Smith struck Rose out. The game was later called on account of darkness after another half-inning as a tie. At the time, Rose's fifth-inning hit was believed to have tied Ty Cobb's career record (WGN-TV flashed "Tied with Ty" on-screen), and 4,191 is still recognized by Major League Baseball as Cobb's official hit total.[10] Independent researchers now believe Cobb's hit total to be 4,189, which if true would mean that Rose actually broke the record in the first inning. Rose was only in the lineup due to a last-minute pitching change. Rose normally batted only against right-handers. With lefty Steve Trout on the mound, Rose was due to be on the bench, and likely to tie and break Cobb's record in an upcoming 10-game homestand. But Trout's left arm had been injured in a fall while bicycling with his family the previous evening, and right-hander Reggie Patterson was announced as the starter. Rose, putting discipline ahead of sentiment, inserted himself in the lineup for the game and made some history.

1986

1987

  • In 1987 Wrigley Field is placed on the National Register of Historic Places[11]
  • July 8 San Diego Padres pitcher Eric Show hit Chicago slugger Andre Dawson in the face with a pitch. Following this beaning, Dawson remained motionless on the ground for several moments, then jumped to his feet and charged the mound initiating a bench-clearing brawl.[1]
  • August 13, 1987
    Billy Williams
    ' number 26 was retired.
  • August 27, 1987, entering the 8th inning with an 8–6 lead over the Atlanta Braves in the second game of a doubleheader, darkness set in at Wrigley and the game was called off resulting in a Cubs victory. This was a routine occurrence in the pre-light years. The installation of lights the following season makes such suspensions less likely to occur in the future.

1988

  • June 28, 1988 over 1.5 million phone calls were recorded during a 3½-hour ticket lottery for the final 13,000 tickets to the first scheduled night game on 8/8/88.[1]
  • August 8, 1988 the Cubs played their first game under the newly installed lights at Wrigley Field. Rain forced the postponement of the game in the fourth inning, with the Cubs leading the Philadelphia Phillies, 3–1. When the Phillies returned to Wrigley four weeks later, the Cubs would lose 4-3 in the replay of the game, which was the major league debut of pitcher Mike Harkey.
  • August 9 the Chicago Cubs hosted the New York Mets in the first official night game at Wrigley Field. The Cubs beat the Mets 6–4.

The Cubs won 2–0 as Wood gave up only one hit. Wood was in his rookie season, and this was just his fifth major-league start. Wood also twice hit 100 mph on the radar gun in the game.
  • September 13 Sammy Sosa hit his 61st and 62nd home runs of the season to pass Babe Ruth and Roger Maris, and temporarily tie Mark McGwire, for the all-time single-season home run record. McGwire would eventually win the home run race 70-66.
  • September 27, on the 60th anniversary of Gabby Hartnett's famous pennant-assuring home run, the Chicago Cubs clinched the National League wild-card berth in a one-game playoff on a Monday night, defeating the San Francisco Giants 5–3.
  • October 3 the Atlanta Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Cubs in the 1998 NLDS[3]

2010s

2010

  • November 20 Northwestern Wildcats and the Illinois Fighting Illini played the first football game at Wrigley Field in 40 years. Due to safety concerns there were several rule changes, the most notable being that offensive plays ran only towards the west end zone. This was because the east end zone in right field game sat within approximately one foot of a heavily padded brick wall. The ball was repositioned after changes in possession to allow this. The annual rivalry game between, the two schools is known as the Land of Lincoln Trophy. This was only the second time the two had played each other in Chicago, the first time also being at Wrigley in 1923.[2][16][17]
