True story - the Cubs were actually set to be one of the first teams to put lights up, in 1941. But after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, P.K. Wrigley donated the lights he had bought - but not installed - to the War Department. And then apparently never got around to replacing them ;)
Just curious as to just what the War Department would need with ballpark light towers?
Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the Sox play in Wrigley field if they can somehow take 2 of the next 3 from the Yankees. Game starts in 9 hours...
There is a heavy rainstorm approaching New England. Hopefully the rains will hold off until the game is over (of course it is welcome to come in if the Sox fall behind early).
