—–As a tour guide at Wrigley Field last season, I got to talk about this photo every day.  My favorite part of the story is that the ivy Bill Veeck (yes of White Sox owner fame) planted in 1937 is the same ivy that is on the wall today.  Grows back every season and has never been replaced.  Roger and Rick and the rest of the grounds crew take tremendous care of it.  Everyone thinks of the ivy, the scoreboard and the marquee when they think of Wrigley Field.
