Wrigley Field (Los Angeles)

Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, sometimes known as "L.A. Wrigley", was the home of the Los Angeles Angels for their inaugural 1961 season. The stadium was very small, especially compared to other major-league parks such as Yankee Stadium or even Fenway Park, which is undoubtedly why the Angels chose to move to Chavez Ravine in 1962, and eventually the newly-built Anaheim Stadium in 1966.
