Chicago Cub
History
"In 1876, the Cubs became one of the charter member of Major League Baseball’s National League. Formerly the Chicago White Stockings, the Cubs got their name when a local columnist, noting the youth movement on the team, referred to them as the Cubs in an article. The Cubs were very successful early in the franchise’s history but have struggled mightily the last 60 years. The Cubs, along with the Red Sox, seem to constantly have the wait-till-next-year motto tattooed on their team. In the 1940s, Instead of becoming one of the first teams to install lights, the Cubs went on to become one of the last when, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, P.K. Wrigley donates the lighting equipment that he had recently purchased to the War Department in 1941. The Cubs have had some the games greats including, Mr. Cub Ernie Banks, Ryne Sandberg, and Fergie Jenkins."

Wrigley Field
"The Cubs play there home games in one of the oldest parks in the country, Wrigley Field. Built in 1914, the park is playing host to Major League Baseball for the 90th season in 2003. The Friendly Confines is the second-oldest ballpark in the majors behind Boston's Fenway Park (1912). The park cost $250,000 to build in 1914 and seats approximately 39,000 fans. The first permanent concession stand in baseball was built here in 1914. The custom of allowing fans to keep foul balls hit into the stands started here, as did the custom of throwing back home runs hit by opposing players. ""Take Me Out To the Ballgame"" has been sung (off-key) thousands of times by venerable announcer Harry Caray (1914-1998), and countless fans have watched the game from the porches and rooftops of the houses on Waveland Avenue (behind the left-field fence) and Sheffield Avenue (beyond right field). After 5,687 consecutive day games played by the Cubs at Wrigley, the lights were finally lit on August 8, 1988, for a game with the Philadelphia Phillies."
