Wrigley has become one of the most historic fields in Major League Baseball, next to names like Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Wrigley is the location of Babe Ruth's historic "called shot" during Game 3 of the 1932 World Series.The Cubs were Division Champs in 2003, the same year that Sammy Sosa was chasing the 500 career HR mark. In the playoffs, the Cubs would suffer a heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Florida Marlins, just missing what would have been their first World Series appearance since 1945.No batted ball has ever hit the centerfield scoreboard ... two baseballs have just missed - a homer hit onto Sheffield Avenue (right-center) by Bill Nicholson in 1948, and another shot from Roberto Clemente onto Waveland Avenue (left-center) in 1959. One of the traditions of Wrigley Field is the flying of a flag bearing a "W" or an "L" atop the scoreboard following a game. A white flag with a blue "W" signifies a victory, while a blue flag with a white "L" indicates a loss.
