The Canopy Club: Baseball View from the Boughs, 1932
In the golden year of 1932, as the Chicago Cubs clinched the National League title, Wrigley Field was abuzz. The photo, an endearing snippet of time, shows gutsy fans perched on a robust tree outside the stadium. With a million souls pouring into the grounds, these creative Cubs aficionados sought the best free seat in the house–a sturdy branch.
Cars, like ants at a picnic, swarmed the surrounding streets, underlining the event’s immense popularity. Can you imagine the exhilaration from such a leafy lookout? We’d say there’s no ticket cost up there unless you count the risk of a leafy tumble!
