You see that the Cubs have cards in the uniform and stadium groups.

 

Here we take a look at the Cubs uniform.  Not much has changed.  The Banks picture looks to be from the late-sixties or early-seventies.  The Cubs logo changed slightly with everthing being a little thicker.  The sleeve patch changed too.  But it is generally the same look.

  

This is supposed to show the evolution of Wrigley Field.  It's a bit of a fail since the two pictures show different perspectives.  You don't see the two biggest changes to Wrigley, the lights and video boards.

 

Here's my attempt at a better looking Evolution of Wrigley Field.

  1. I didn't even get to the bottom of your commentary and already thought 'why is the perspective the opposite?' but then you took care of that. And, man, it's quite different from then to now. Even the foul territory and the addition of the electronics makes it look much different.
