Product Description Anniversary Souvenir. Limited Edition. Wrigley Field, Chicagos field of dreams… Built in 1914, Wrigley Field is the last of the jewel box designed ballparks that were popular in the early part of the 20th century. It is now the only professional ballpark with an ivy-covered wall. Although Wrigley Field has been home of the Cubs since 1916, it has yet to see the Cubs win a World Series.

This marvelous DVD captures moments from the past 100 years that will be cherished by all Cub fans!
