Wrigley Field celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Wrigley Field – then Weeghman Park—hosted its first baseball game on April 23, 1914, as the Chicago Federals faced the Kansas City Packers. A century later, Wrigley Field is home to the Chicago Cubs, who face the Arizona Diamond Backs in style with throwback uniforms honoring the first game played in the friendly confines. Eddie Arruza joins us with latest on the day’s celebrations.
