About Me


I am Wrigley Field. I was erected in the early 1910's and am the mosty exciting venue in baseball. Currently I am the home of the World Famous Chicago Cubs. I have 1 daughter who was erected in Los Angeles and home to the Angels from 1925-1960. I love beer, women and sellouts, along with my bodyguards(Clark, Addison, Waveland, and Sheffield)! And I hate the Cardinals, White Sox, Yankees, and Red Sox.
P.S. Fenway has nothing on me!
