Cubs historical sleuthing: 1970s edition

When I wrote this post to kick off the “non-homer, multi-run walkoff” series, I used the photo above to stand in for 1978 Wrigley Field.

While the photo wasn’t from that game, or even the year, I figured I could use it as a stand-in. Wrigley didn’t change much from the 1940s until Tribune Co. bought the team. The only real changes were the re-doing of the lower deck seats to face the field and permanent box seats installed, both of which happened in the 1960s.

This photo, even at first glance, gives you a time frame.
