MLB Betting fans have seen plenty of heartbreak at the Friendly Confines, which is one of the oldest, most memorable and allegedly cursed ball parks of all time. Cub’s fans betting on the team to win a World Series have been waiting for over a century. The team last one a world series in 1908 when they called the West Side Ball Park their home field.

Since moving to Wrigley in 1916, the Cubs have played host to the World Series four times. The Cubs last appearance in a meaningful baseball game at Wrigley was in October of 1945 in a losing effort. Over the last 65 years, the Cubs have struggled mightily at Wrigley, and many have pondered why the club has not considered switching to a new stadium.

Wrigley Field was nicknamed the Friendly Confines by hall of famer and Mr. Cub Ernie Banks. It is the second oldest ball park in all of baseball, to Fenway Park home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912.

Wrigley is famous for its Ivory walls located in the outfield. As the season progresses, the Ivory further grows in and many baseball have been lost in the Ivy patches. This has resulted in many hits being ruled as ground rule doubles. The Ivy is from Boston and was first planted by then Cubs general manager Bill Veeck in 1937.

Further, Wrigley along with Fenway are the only two ball parks in which the scoreboard is turned by hand rather than via computer. Also, the Cubs ownership refused to put in night lights until the 1988 season, making it rather difficult to have night games.
