Cubs historical sleuthing: An early aerial photo

You have, of course, seen the aerial photos of Wrigley Field, both of construction and during the season, from Curtis Waltz, who runs the excellent @WrigleyAerials Twitter feed.

A couple of weeks ago, I came across this article posted on the Southport Corridor blog, a site dedicated to various events in the area around Wrigley.

In it are two older photos of Wrigley Field I hadn’t seen before.

This article is about the black-and-white aerial shot seen at the top of this post.

The first thing you’ll notice is that there’s no hitters’ background in the center-field bleachers.
