Saving Wrigley Field(2021)

Saving Wrigley Field is a documentary that chronicles the ambitious restoration and expansion of one of baseball's most storied venues. Built in 1914, Wrigley Field required a multi-year overhaul to secure its future for generations to come. The film explores the challenges of modernizing a century-old ballpark while preserving its historic character and charm. Wrigley Field has witnessed pivotal moments in baseball history: Babe Ruth's legendary "called shot" in 1932, Gabby Hartnett's "homer in the gloamin'," Ernie Banks' 500th home run, and Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout game. It remains the only active MLB stadium where Jackie Robinson played and hosted the founding tryouts of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1943, the first major women's professional sports league in America. Saving Wrigley Field celebrates the effort required to protect this iconic institution.
