Wrigley Field
|
|
|
As you may have noticed, my main emphasis for this site is on minor league parks. I will occasionally post pictures of major league parks I've visited, but I'll only write an actual review on the special ones. Wrigley Field is special. The hand-operated scoreboard. The ivy on the red-brick outfield wall. The artistic light standards. The small and intimate size of the place. The bleachers set on buildings by enterprising neighbors. The mounds of onions piled high on a Chicago Dog. All of these beautiful and wonderful things add together to form and even more beautiful and wonderful whole at Wrigley. Wrigley has been renovated over the years, but it still maintains its charm. It's well-kept, the fans are enthusiastic and fun (especially those in the bleachers), and this fine baseball palace keeps on rolling on into the 21st century as it approaches its one hundredth birthday. No matter how hard today's architects try, they will never fully reproduce the magic of parks like Wrigley and Fenway. In the words of "Mr. Cub" Ernie Banks, "Let's play two!" Bottom Line: Not only is Wrigley an excellent ballpark, but it is unparalleled among the modern parks, and probably always will be.
