More than five decades after the Cincinnati Reds played the first major league game under lights, installation of lights began at Chicago’s Wrigley Field.
A helicopter arrived at 8 a.m. and began the first of two dozen short trips alongside the left-field wall, pulling steel girders to a crew on the upper-deck roof.
The Cubs have not set a date for completion of the job, and the date for the first of six night games this season is still undecided. A City Council vote last month paved the way for the lights but also limited the team to 18 lighted regular-season games each year.
