Wrigley Field

The first game under the lights at Wrigley field was played August 8, 1988 between the Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies. Ironically, the rains came and the game was called in the 4th inning. The first complete night game was played the next night against the New York Mets. The Cubs won 6-4. I have what appears to be a photograph that was published in either a magazine or newspaper showing Wrigley Field with full stadium lighting and with a caption below that says, "Photograph of opening night game at Wrigley Field-July 22, 1930".
Wrigley Field is the second oldest Major League baseball park in use today. It opened in 1914. Fenway Park is the oldest opening in 1912. And coming in 3rd is believe it or not Dodger Stadium which opened in 1962.
