No landmark in the Windy City is as recognizable as Wrigley Field, home of major league baseball's Chicago Cubs.  Built in 1914, Wrigley Field is the second oldest major league park behind Boston's Fenway Park.  Affectionately dubbed "The Friendly Confines", Wrigley Field and its ivy-covered outfield walls evoke the beauty of the national past time.   This distinction is a bit of a consolation for Cub fans who have never seen a World Series title won in this stadium, the last title claimed in 1908.

Perhaps, the Cubs could end their century-old title drought by taking a cue from their football counterparts across town.   In 2012, the Chicago Bears struck a deal with Dr Pepper, which will be the exclusive provider of soft drinks at Soldier Field.   We hope those "lovable losers" from the Chicago's Northside don't get the hint . . .
