	Clem's Baseball ~ Wrigley Field
		The ballpark that was most similar to Wrigley Field was Crosley Field, where the grandstand was likewise curved behind home plate, with the upper decks set back a fair distance from the field, and with no upper decks extending into the outfield.
		Wrigley Field assumed its more-or-less final form in 1938, as the exquisite tapered bleachers with the ivy-covered walls were added, along with the trademark scoreboard that towers above center field at the corner of Waveland and Sheffield.
		Wrigley Field's only real "shortcoming" (from my point of view) is the fact that the field layout is rather symmetrical, at least in terms of the marked distances.
