I was getting the stadium charts ready for the 1917 replay, and counted off 7 of 8 stadiums for the National League, based on the years printed on the charts. I checked twice, and then realized that the missing stadium was already being used in my 1967 replay, and that I’d be using it for a 2010 replay, should I decide to play the Cubs.
Wrigley Field opened in 1914, as the home of the Federal League’s Chicago Whales. The Cubs began play at Wrigley in 1916. They’ve called the “friendly confines” home since then.
I hope to play a few Opening Day (April 11, 1917) games this weekend.
