On this date in 1941, Wrigley Field became the first ballpark to play organ music. Now it's hard to imagine baseball any other way.
On April 26, 1941, the Cubs became the first team to play organ music in a ballpark. Prior to this time, no other team in the Major Leagues had an organ installed in their park. The Cubs actually hooked up the organ to public system on April 26th as a one-time stunt, but the fans loved it so much that it became a permanent part of the Wrigley field experience which Cubs fans still enjoy today.
