Wrigley Field in Chicago is celebrating its 100th birthday this season. In his latest edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson tells us about the history of the ballpark, including how its first tenant was not even a member of Major League Baseball.

Reading Baseball is a series of essays and commentaries by Richard "Pete" Peterson, the author of Pops: The Willie Stargell Story and Growing Up With Clemente.
