Chicago Cubs at Wrigley field finally caved in.

I can't remember the year.

I got this from Wikipedia - Lights were scheduled to be added to Wrigley Field in 1942, but after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, then-owner Philip K. Wrigley (son of the late William) donated the materials intended for lighting Wrigley Field to the war effort. Baseball boomed after the war, allowing P.K. Wrigley to procrastinate on the issue. He eventually decided never to install lights for a variety of publicly stated reasons, so Wrigley Field remained a bastion of day baseball until the Chicago Tribune Company acquired the Cubs in 1981.

Wrigley in Chicago of course. But did you know the lights actually came one day later than they were supposed to because the initial "1st Night Games" was rained out.
