Sorry, but it will always be Comiskey Park to me, no matter who has paid to put their name on it. And the Sears Tower still stands.
From the May 5, 2019, Chicago Tribune by Phil Rosenthal and Tim Bannon.
Here are nine memorable movie and TV scenes at Chicago baseball parks over the last 40 years.
"THE BLUES BROTHERS" (1980)
A great cameo for Wrigley Field, even if it is just a fleeting look. A Nazi group is looking for our boys, Jake and Elwood Blues. They had the address for Elwood Blues as being at 1060 West Addison. Cut to the cars with the Nazis pulling up to the famed Wrigley Field outside sign at night.
"A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN" (1992)
The tryout scene for the All American Girls Professional Baseball League with most of the movie's top characters is at Wrigley Field.
