Feats and facts from 100 years of Cubs baseball at Wrigley Field

11:59 AM ET

Wednesday marks the 100th anniversary of the Chicago Cubs’ first game at Wrigley Field. It opened in 1914 and was originally named Weeghman Park (it became Wrigley Field in 1926 in honor of William Wrigley Jr., the Cubs’ owner), and was home to Chicago’s Federal League team before the Cubs played the first National League game there in 1916. A bear cub was in attendance to see the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds, 7-6, in 11 innings on April 20. Here’s a snapshot look at the history of the park.
