Someday, Someday

I have yet to get to Wrigley Field for a game. I know I have already missed Stadia Yankee and Shea since they will be gone after this year. So I enjoyed the 10 Facts About Wrigley Field on Mental Floss Blog. Perhaps two of the more interesting were:

2. The scoreboard has been around since 1937 too, and is still manually operated. Despite it’s prominent placement, it has never been struck with a batted ball. Golfer Sam Snead teed off from home plate and hit it once, though.

3. Fans inside and outside of the park sweetly return any home run ball hit by the opposing team. They’re thoughtful like that. I did see this happen – a ball was hit out into the street and was promptly returned to the outfield.
