In April and May the wind often comes off Lake Michigan less than a mile to the east , which means a northeast wind "blowing in" to knock down potential home runs and turn them into outs. In the summer, however, or on any warm and breezy day, the wind often comes from the south and the southwest, which means the wind is "blowing out" and has the potential to turn normally harmless fly balls into home runs.
A third variety is the cross-wind, which typically runs from the left field corner to the right field corner and causes all sorts of interesting havoc. Depending on the direction of the wind, Wrigley can either be one of the friendliest parks in the major leagues for pitchers or among the worst.
This makes Wrigley one of the most unpredictable parks in the Major Leagues. Many Cubs fans check their nearest flag before heading to the park on game days for an indication of what the game might be like; this is less of a factor for night games, however, because the wind does not blow as hard after the sun goes down. With the wind blowing in , pitchers can dominate, and no-hitters have been tossed from time to time, though none recently; the last two occurred near the beginning and the end of the season, by Burt Hooton and Milt Pappas respectively.
In the seventh inning of Ken Holtzman's first no-hitter, on August 19, , Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hammered one that looked like it was headed for Waveland, but the wind caught it just enough for left fielder Billy Williams to leap up and snare it in "the basket". With the wind blowing out , some true tape-measure home runs have been hit by well-muscled batters. Glenallen Hill put one on a rooftop. Batters have occasionally slugged it into, or to the side of, the first row or two of the "upper deck" of the center field bleachers.
Sosa hit the roof of the center field camera booth on the fly during the NLCS against the Florida Marlins, some feet away. But the longest blast was probably hit by Dave Kingman on a very windy day in while with the Mets. According to local legend, that day, Kingman launched a bomb that landed on the third porch roof on the east center field side of Kenmore Avenue, some feet away. No batter has ever hit the center field scoreboard, however it has been hit by a different kind of ball: a golf ball, hit by Sam Snead, using a two iron.
No matter the weather, many fans congregate during batting practice and games on Waveland Avenue, behind left field, and Sheffield Avenue, behind right field, for a chance to catch a home run ball. The main scoreboard at Wrigley Field. This photo was taken on the August 27, Cubs- Marlins game.
Note the video board below the scoreboard, as it was added in Along with Fenway Park , Wrigley is one of the last parks to maintain a hand turned scoreboard. Unlike the home of the Red Sox, the scoreboard at Wrigley is mounted above the center field bleachers, rather than at ground level, making it harder to hit during play. No players have hit the current scoreboard, although several have come close.
The scoreboard was installed in , when Bill Veeck installed the new bleachers. The scoreboard has remained in place ever since, and has only seen minor modifications. The clock was added in , a fifth row of scores was added to each side in and later a sixth. A set of light stands facing onto the scoreboard was added in with the introduction of night games.
An electronic message board was also added below the scoreboard. The scoreboard is still manually operated, with scores coming in through a computer a ticker tape machine was used in the past ; a number turner watches the score changes closely, and updates scores by manually replacing the numbers from within the scoreboard.
The scoreboard is made out of sheet steel. The numbers that are placed into the inning windows are steel, painted forest green, and numbered with white numerals.
The box for the game playing at Wrigley uses yellow numerals for the current inning. The clock, which sits at the top center of the scoreboard, has never lost time in its year existence. The doors to enter the scoreboard are located at either end.
On the reverse of the scoreboard, visible from the CTA elevated trains is a blue pennant, with the words " Chicago Cubs ", in white outlined in red neon. The scoreboard was extensively rehabilitated for the season. In , the Cubs toyed with the idea of adding a Jumbotron to the stadium, but the presence of the hand turned scoreboard which cannot be moved due to the park's landmark status, which also prohibits even simple facelifts such as adding two more games on the National and one more on the American side to reflect 16 and 14 teams, respectively, in the leagues; the game, team scoreboard reflects MLB from to , so up to three games 2 NL, 1 AL each day cannot be posted has hampered efforts to do so.
Directly over the main entrance to the stadium stands the most familiar icon of the exterior of the ballpark, a large red, art deco style marquee, painted in white letters to read " Wrigley Field, Home of Chicago Cubs ". The marquee was installed circa The sign was blue until the s, and originally used changeable letters similar to the scoreboard to announce upcoming games.
This was also changed during football season to reflect the Chicago Bears. In , the two line announcement board was replaced with an electronic message board and a backlit advertising panel was added below this is now solid red.
The marquee utilizes red neon lights at night, showing the familiar " Wrigley Field " in red, as the rest of the sign is in darkness. The marquee is so iconic with the park, that the owners of the park, both past, and present, have used the marquee in some way as the park's trademark of sorts, even the CTA platform that services Wrigley Field the CTA Addison St.
Wrigley Field was a hold-out against night games, not installing lights until after baseball officials refused to allow Wrigley to host any post-season games without lights. Before then, all games at Wrigley were played during the day. Night games are still limited in number by agreement with the city council. In , then-owner P. Wrigley had planned to install lights, but instead, the lights and stands were scrapped for the war effort.
The first official night game at Wrigley was held the following day, August 9. It was also the first night game ever played in the historic ballpark July 1, The team had transferred from Decatur, and retained the name " Staleys " for the season. They renamed themselves the "Bears" in order to identify with the baseball team, a common practice in the NFL in those days. Initially the Bears worked with the stands that were there. Eventually they acquired a large, portable bleacher section that spanned the right and center field areas and covered most of the existing bleacher seating and part of the right field corner seating.
This "East Stand" raised Wrigley's football capacity to about 46,, or a net gain of perhaps 9, seats over normal capacity. After the Bears left, this structure would live on for several years as the "North Stand" at Soldier Field , until it was replaced by permanent seating.
The football field ran north-to-south, i. The remodeling of the bleachers made for a very tight fit for the gridiron. In fact, the corner of the south end zone was literally in the visiting baseball team's dugout, which was filled with pads for safety, and required a special ground rule that sliced off that corner of the end zone.
One corner of the north end line ran just inches short of the left field wall. There is a legend that Bronko Nagurski , the great Bears fullback, steamrolled through the line, head down, and ran all the way through that end zone, smacking his leather-helmeted head on the bricks.
