See Incredible Photos From Wrigley Field Before World Series Game 3
For the first time in 71 years, the World Series is back at Wrigley Field with Game 3 of the Fall Classic on Friday night. And Chicago sure is enjoying its return.
No offense to the Cleveland Indians and Progressive Field, but few sports venues can rival Wrigley. And we’ll likely see a few more historic moments at the iconic ballpark over the next few days, as the Cubs are three wins away from clinching their first World Series since 1908.
But this series, currently tied at 1-1, still is far from over, and the Indians are looking to end quite a long drought of their own — their last World Series came in 1948. In the meantime, though, sit back, relax and enjoy history unravel before your eyes.
And while you’re at it, check out these photos from Friday’s wild scene in Wrigleyville.
