Ever wonder why Wrigley Field's outfield walls are adorned with ivy?

Ever wonder why Wrigley Field's outfield walls are adorned with ivy?

You enter under the marquee at Clark and Addison. As you make your way through the concourse, a sliver of bright blue sky is visible through one of the walkways that lead to the seating area. As you climb the stairs, the green hand-operated scoreboard in center field comes into view. As you reach the top of the steps, you look to the outfield and see...nothing but a plain old wall?

For fans entering Wrigley Field prior to 1937, that was the view for those seated in the grandstands looking onto the field.
