Wrigley Field in Los Angeles

Wrigley Field in Los Angeles was home to the Los Angeles Angels Pacific Coast League AAA ball club. William Wrigley Jr. bought the Angels in 1921, and ownership was transferred to the Santa Catalina Island Company in 1932. From 1941 to 1957 the club was owned by the Chicago National League ball club, the Chicago Cubs. For 26 years between 1921 and 1951, the Chicago Cubs held their annual spring training at this field in Catalina. A tower was erected by Wm. Wrigley Jr. on January 15, 1926, in honor of baseball players who gave or risked their lives in the defence of their country in the Great World War. On July 14, 1977, the Avalon Men's Softball League rededicated the Los Angeles Wrigley Field plaque in memory of Philip K. Wrigley, 1894-1977, for his generosity to the league throughout the years.
