Here’s yet another video from our friends at Flagstaff Films of a visiting team at Wrigley Field in 1937. Again, the ballpark is the star of the show:

Once again, the state of the bleachers and scoreboard allows us to precisely date this film. There’s no construction begun on the bleachers yet, so it has to be before July 5. The Phillies were at Wrigley twice before that in 1937: May 25-27 and June 18-20.
