CHICAGO After decades and decades, Wrigley Field is finally hosting the World Series.If youre at all a fan of the history of the sport, this bastion of baseball is a perfect setting for the showcase event. The ivy-covered outfield walls are as iconic as anything in baseball. Mention the phrase Friendly Confines and every baseball fans knows youre talking about Wrigley, Rhys Hoskins Youth White Jersey whether or not theyve actually visited the ballpark. Generations of Cubs fans have lived and died with the hopes that theyd one day get the chance to see a World Series game here.The first thing you think of when you think about Wrigley is the ivy on the walls. Second? Its probably day baseball. Day baseball is synonymous with Wrigley Field.Its a damn shame that all three games of this series against Cleveland are going to be played at night. How great would an afternoon World Series game at Wrigley be, right?MORE: Sporting News NL All-Star team | AL All-Star teamThe Cubs didnt even play their first night baseball game at Wrigley until August 6, 1988.Think about that. Not until 1988. The White Sox, Robin Roberts Jersey the other team in Chicago, installed lights at Comiskey Park in 1939. The Cubs held off for almost five more decades.They still play a ton of home games in the sunshine.A quick glance at the 2017 schedule shows 30 night games, 27 TBD times (mostly Saturday and Sunday games) and 24 day games scheduled. In 2013, a city ordinance was pa sed that allowed for the potential of as many as 43 night games (that figures into the 27 TBD dates). The Cubs still have entire series played with 1:20 p.m. CT starts.MORE: Roberto Perez joins unlikely World Series heroesLook, it's knownstart times are heavily influenced (OK, controlled) by TV networks, and TV networks love prime-time contests. But theyre mi sing a wonderful opportunity to give a nod toward nostalgia, and how great of a hook would this be? They could sell this, folks.Saturdays Game 4 would have been the perfect fit. Its a weekend, which means the typical 9-to-5 routines of the work week dont apply to most would-be viewers. And the way the primary competition for sports eyeballs college football on Saturday is set up, with flexible start times, most of the best games are in the evening anyway.This would have been the perfect opportunity to throw a first pitch at Wrigley at 3:20 p.m.I gue s its understandable to think that MLB might not have fully considered this option. Check out this story about that first night game, a 1988 Chicago Tribune article that included this sentence:Major League Baseball decreed that, should the Cubs ever make it to the World Series, their home games would have to be played at an alternate, lighted site.SPECTOR: Cleveland shouldn't stop at retiring Chief WahooShould and not when yeah. Confidence.Anyway, that day is here. The Cubs are in the World Series, and we need day baseball at Wrigley.Heck Aaron Nola Jersey , lets play two.
