Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."

This is a nice view of the “traditional” Wrigley Field, with no video boards, clearly from an earlier era. But when?

Here’s what we know about this photo, and then I’ll show it to you again..

It has to be after 1962, because there are five score lines on each side of the board. (Also 10 team flags on the board.)

It also has to be before mid-1967, because that’s when the Astroturf went up in center field.
