Also, the attendance that day, 35,, seems to me to match better what we see than the somewhat lower July 10 attendance. The Cubs swept the doubleheader, and What I found even more interesting than the game action in this photo is what you see in the neighborhood surrounding the ballpark.
Some of the buildings you see still stand, almost 83 years later. Others have succumbed to time. I asked Mike Bojanowski, who is a Wrigley neighborhood expert he grew up there and still lives nearby to look at this photo and tell us about all those buildings.
