Wrigley field is significant because it holds memories of this moment and it a baseball historical landmark.

Game 7 was an intense match with neither starting pitcher making it out of the third inning and both teams combining to use eight relievers. While on the offensive, the Astros were led to victory by George Springer, the team’s center fielder, who home runned for the fourth consecutive game (tying Reggie Jackson and Chase Utley for the most home runs in a single World Series with five).

Even though there are not factual evidence of where or when this game originated, there is some evidence of cricket being played dating all the way back to the 1500’s (A Brief History of Cricket.), rather than in baseball the first official game played was in the year of 1846 (Who Invented Baseball?).
