There are many moments in baseball that can be considered “firsts”. It can be a player’s first at bat, home run, save, no-hitter .. or for a fan it can be attending a major league game for the first time.
When it comes to historical moments in the timeline of the game, there are first events related to stadiums as well. Recently there have been a slew of new ballparks opening, so there have been historic first games played on those new fields.
This baseballism is about a “First” at an old ballpark. All Cubs fans will remember that Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs since 1916, had it’s very first game under the lights on the memorable date of August 8, 1988 or 8/8/88.
Or did it?
