Wrigley Field
An old-fashioned joy and a veritable time machine, this neighborhood ballpark -- a fan favorite since 1914 -- is a classic through and through. Wrigley, home of the Chicago Cubs, is also a great place to bring your glove, as it’s well known for being a home-run hitters’ paradise; before the 1932 World Series, Babe Ruth said, “I’d pay half my salary if I could bat in this dump all the time.” (Ruth also hit his alleged “called shot” here during that same series.) From July 2 to 5, watch the Cubbies in a showdown against their tough division opponents the Brewers.
