1992 Chicago Cubs Wrigley Field Ground Rules for Baseball Play
The 1992 publication page regarding the Chicago Cubs’ ground rules at Wrigley Field outlines specific scenarios that affect gameplay. Wrigley Field, home to the Cubs since its first game on April 20, 1916, has unique features that influence how the game is played. The ground rules specify that if a ball hits the railing or screen above the bleacher wall and bounces back onto the field, it is considered in play. If a ball strikes the screen in front of the bleachers, two bases are awarded to the batter. When a ball hits vines on the bleacher walls, it results in two bases if it remains in play, while a ball touching the foul markers in left or right field and crossing the painted mark counts as a home run.
