The home of the Chicago Cubs is now officially a National Historic Landmark.
Well, the Chicago Cubs got what they wished for – seven years after the fact. On Thursday, we learned National Historic Landmark status was bestowed upon Wrigley Field, the 106-year-old sanctum. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, earned the same designation more than a decade ago.
Still, a seven-year ‘hiatus’ wasn’t good for them. The Cubs deployed Crane Kenney, the President of Business Operations, to drum up some funds for them. I’ll give him credit: Kenney was steadfast in his ways.
