Balls-strikes counter a Wrigley Field treasure
- Updated: October 31, 2016
CHICAGO — Wrigley Field, one of baseball’s oldest and most historic stadiums, has undergone some renovations over time, though its charm and historic flavor have remained largely untouched.
One of the lesser-known treasures that has been a part of Wrigley Field since before the Cubs made their last World Series appearance is the balls and strikes counter connected to the scoreboard in center field, a contraption that is operated from the press box.
It’s been around since 1937 and is as dependable as any modern-day operation.
