CUBS WIN WORLD SERIES!!!

And, the Cubs were set up to be the first team with lights. But that was right after the start of WWII and the team sold off the standards, (aluminum) for the war effort. And it was how many years before they finally got lights? They were the last team to get lights. And courtesy of a friend, I was at the first COMPLETE night game.

I never knew that about the Cubs donating their material for the war effort. It happened just a day after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Sounds like P.K. Wrigley was a standup guy! However, I don't think they would have been the first to get lights. If I remember correctly, Cincinnati had lights at Crosley Field in 1935.
