Cubs Fan's 1938 Home Video Shows Early Days Of Wrigley Field
CHICAGO (CBS) -- You can now see glimpses of Wrigley Field from a bygone era.
It was in 1938 when Jacob Glick, an immigrant from Ukraine who owned a chain of cigar shops, shot footage during what might have been the Cubs' home opener against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The film (above) shows the fans around Glick - mostly men, all of them wearing fedoras and dressed in business clothes; many, smoking cigars.
The ivy had just been planted about five months earlier and the bleachers had just been built.
