Origin of Wrigley Field ivy | Chicago Cubs

share-square-855841 CHICAGO There is history and then there is the stuff of myth and legend. The origin of the ivy that clings to the brick outfield wall at Wrigley Field has a little bit of everything intertwined. The story that has persisted for generations has been that Bill Veeck Jr. the Hall of Fame executive and promoter not only came up with the idea for the ivy, but planted it in an overnight operation in 1937. Veeck himself helped perpetuate that tale in an autobiography. Greatly exaggerated, Cubs historian Ed Hartig said of the claims of Veeck s involvement. The ivy was planted by the Clavey family.
