"Wrigley Field" View from home plate to were the fences are.

Thank you to Ross 'Sal' Greco for sharing his photos and memories of his childhood playing ball at "Wrigley Field". In 1941 Bob Grembowitz, his brother Frank, along with some friends started and completed a ball field. Bob was an avid Cub's fan. This devotion to his favorite team provided the name for the new ball park, "Wrigely Field". The field was on a wooded lot owned by Julius Forstmann. Mr. Forstmann owned and operated weaving plants in both Clifton and Garfield. The Garfield plant opened in 1909 on Lanza Avenue. "Wrigely" was in the back of Mike Godlash's home at 231 Lanza Avenue. This field went on to serve the youth of Garfield for nine years.
