To win World Series, Cubs must reverse history of Wrigley Field in Fall Classic

For the first time in 71 years, there will be a World Series Game played at Wrigley Field on Friday night. The home of the Cubs since 1916, Wrigley once saw plenty of Fall Classic action, but Chicago’s long pennant-less streak has rendered the Friendly Confines an October afterthought since the end of World War II.

But on Friday the spotlight—and the floodlights, which were installed at the ballpark at Waveland and Sheffield avenues in 1988, the 43rd season of their pennant drought—will be squarely on Wrigley when the Cubs host the Indians with the Series tied at one-game apiece.
