Our parish leadership has been writing about the 100th commemoration of the laying of the cornerstone of Sacred Heart Church since last year. Next Sunday we will celebrate the anniversary of that event. Famous people like Cardinal Mercier and young Dwight Eisenhower were here that day. Lesser known figures of history were also here; mayors, businesspeople, and parish leaders. Sacred Heart Church is a monument to the Belgium immigrants who came to our country seeking to participate in the American Dream. The immigrants left behind the land that they loved, but also, they left behind abject poverty. Once they were here, the Belgium people wanted to show that they could be industrious American citizens. In the articles that were written in the Flemish and English news papers the founders of our parish strongly put forth their belief that Sacred Heart Church should be constructed only from the resources of the Belgium religious community. The church was to be a symbol of a strong faith in God and of the fact that the Belgians could achieve monumental tasks when Thank you to our they worked together as a Christian community. newest Givers who Just as there were many noteworthy people here 100 years moved us from 518 ago there also will be next Sunday.

    Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 1 Running header: THE ORIGINATION OF BASEBALL AND ITS STADIUMS The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums: Wrigley Field Justin A. Jordan North Carolina State University Landscape Architecture 444 Prof. Fernando Magallanes December 7, 2012 Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 2 Abstract Baseball is America’s Pastime and is home for some of the most influential people and places in the USA. Since the origination of baseball itself, fields and ball parks have had emotional effects on Americans beginning long before the creation of the USA. In this paper, one will find the background of the sport and how it became as well as the first ball parks and their effects on people in the USA leading up to the discussion about Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 3 Baseball. This one word could represent the American pastime and culture. Many believe it to be as old as dirt. Peter Morris in his book, Level Playing Fields, explains “Baseball is sometimes said to be older than dirt. It is one of those metaphors that sounds silly on its face but that still resonates because it hints at a deeper truth. In this case, the deeper truth is that neither baseball nor dirt is quite complete without the other” (Morris, 2007). Morris practically says that baseball cannot thrive without proper fields to play on or parks to play in. Before describing early playing fields and stadiums in baseball, one must know where the sport and idea originated from in the first place.

Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Alicia Mazur Berg, Commissioner Cover: An aerial view of Wrigley Field. Above: Wrigley Field is located in the Lake View community area on Chicago’s North Side. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the land- marks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. Wrigley Field 1060 W.

  • A Study of Economic Development and Ballparks in Chicago
    IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME? A STUDY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND BALLPARKS IN CHICAGO Elena Caminer Senior Thesis for the Urban Studies Program Barnard College, Columbia University April 18, 2018 Prof. Mary Rocco, PhD Abstract There is more to ballparks than the hot dogs sold or the games played inside of them. Scholars argue that although local governments invest in new stadiums as tools of economic revitalization, the intended benefits often fall short. These scholars, however, analyze ballparks at a regional level. By taking a wide scope they overlook smaller scale results and impacts at the neighborhood level. Wrigleyville, the Chicago neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field home of the Chicago Cubs, contrasts sharply with Armour Square, the neighborhood surrounding Guaranteed Rate Field (formerly US Cellular and Comiskey Park) home of the Chicago White Sox. While both neighborhoods contain a Major League Baseball field, Wrigleyville is a thriving community and commercial center, whereas Armour Square, is still struggling from its industrial past and is divided across racial and ethnic lines. Using Wrigleyville and Armour Square as case studies for the relationship between economic development and ballparks, this paper considers the extent to which these ballparks stimulate economic development and affect city initiatives. For ballparks to have a net-positive impact on neighborhood economic development, the community must view the ballpark as an asset. Further, private investment by the ballpark owners is the key to creating a thriving neighborhood surrounding the ballpark.

  • A Home for the Cubs the Humble Beginnings of Wrigley Field
    BOSSSummer'11#7:Layout 1 6/27/11 10:14 AM Page 31 DIXON 1916-2011 SPORTS A Home for the Cubs The humble beginnings of Wrigley Field BY GREG RIENZI Charles “Lucky Charlie” Weeghman served up a circus-like spectacle for the Chicago Cubs’ opening day on April 20, 1916. The Cubs had a new home—the north side ballpark that would later be dubbed Wrigley Field—and the team’s new owner wanted fans to embrace a fresh era for the 40-year-old National League franchise. A consummate promoter and sales - man, Weeghman had the team parade through the Windy City streets to Weeghman (pronounced Weg-man) Park, built two years prior. The pre- game ceremony included a marching band, fireworks and even a bear cub and zookeeper from the Lincoln Park Zoo. (The bear, nicknamed “Joa” after Cubs minority owner Jonathan Ogden Armour, would later be housed in a cage Three decades after it was built, Wrigley Field hosted the Tiger-Cubs World Series outside the park, on Addison Street.) in 1945.

  • Talk of Wrigley's 100Th Birthday Always Leads Into the Future of the Old Ballyard
    Talk of Wrigley’s 100th birthday always leads into the future of the old ballyard By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014 When Wrigley Field’s 100th anniversary season is mentioned, the reminder is the ballpark, though ancient, has not been rel- egated to museum status. It is a living, breathing (many say wheezing), working stadium. Past is always prologue in baseball. So when Wrigley’s history is detailed, the storyline always links to the second hun- dred years, or a portion of such, with the long-planned renovations. Wrigley always has been an evolving ballpark ever since a porch was eliminated in its earliest days to move the left-field fence back. While the ballpark has continually evolved, all the new construction has ap- peared as if Zachary Taylor Davis, Wrigley’s architect, had designed the addi- tions, from the bleachers and ivy to the light towers. But Cubs chairman Tom Ed Sherman dovetailed from the future of Cubs TV Ricketts’ planned add-ons threaten to rights to the most famous homer in Wrigley history change that trend, as was detailed in a during the SABR program. special program run by the Emil Rothe (Chicago) chapter of the Society for Amer- ican Baseball Research at the Cliff Dwellers Club in downtown Chicago. The most interesting angle of “Wrigley Field, Past, Present and Future,” held five days before the ballpark’s actual centennial date, looked at a ballpark that will appear far dif- ferent in upcoming years if the renovations go through – and that’s still a big “if.” Longtime Chicago baseball journalist Stuart Shea, author of two variations of a ballpark biography, the latest of which is Wrigley Field: The Long Life and Contentious Times of www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] the Friendly Confines, described in apt terms a stadium featuring a huge Jumbotron towering above left field and a large advertising sign above the bleachers in right.
