Description

This is the scoreboard that had my attention each time my folks would take me to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Why? Because of the little man inside of that giant green box who manually changed the scores inning by inning by simply inserting a new number. Wrigley Field is one of two ball parks to still operate a hand-turned scoreboard; the other is in Fenway Stadium. Built in 1937, the scoreboard is a fixture in Wrigley Field and a tradition that, I hope, continues.

This image was uploaded on October 7, 2015 just in time for the Wild Card game between the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates. I've added color for the festivities because color brings luck, and color is happiness. Beautifully processed, this iconic sign has even more meaning now that the Cubs are the 2016 World Series Champs.

To my Dad who didn't get to see the Cubs win a World Series, this image is for him! Win or not, the good memories are many! Welcome to Wrigley Field!
