520 1 $a"Wrigley Field is a baseball shrine today, but how did it achieve that status? What's the history of the park, its teams, the fans, and the adjoining community that is so interwoven that it's commonly referred to as "Wrigleyville"?"
520 8 $a"Stuart Shea takes you from the park's inception in 1914 - with no bleachers, no ivy, no scoreboard, no upper deck, no lights, and even no Wrigley and no Cubs - through its entire history up until today. Along the way, he discusses the progress - or lack thereof - of the team year by year, the evolution of the neighborhood surroundings, the improvements and upgrades made to Wrigley, and how the Wrigleys made sure that a fan could still enjoy a day at the park even when the on-field product wasn't up to snuff (which was often)."--Jacket.
