Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois is one of baseballs oldest fields still being used today. First called Weeghman Park it heard the words "play ball" for the first time in 1914 when it was home to a minor league team the Chicago Whales. Since its purchase by then chewing gum magnate William Wrigley in 1921 it has been the place where legends are made. The movie Wrigley Field (1914-2014)-Historic Moments shows many of these baseball legends, and the moments that made them so, including Gabby Harnett's "homer in the gloamin," Babe Ruth's called shot, and Sammy Sosa's record breaking homer in 1998.
