Aerial view showing Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, California (not Chicago) at pre-game ceremony ca. 1940. An American flag being supported by four lines of people can be seen below the diamond. A group of people stand in rows to the left of the flag while the lower levels of the stadium are visibly full. The clock tower behind the stadium shows the time at 2:40 in the afternoon.

    Excellent photos and historical notes in the link! I had no idea that the Cubs spring training long ago was on Catalina or that there was also a Wrigley Stadium in L.A.
