The state legislature passed a law last year prohibiting night games
at Wrigley Field.  It's against the law.

Although, money counts more than the law. Numbers leaked/released
to the press amount to something like each team losing $700k.  
This is only based on hearsay.  Harry Caray brought it up in his editorial
on the subject after Saturday's game.

Later, Chuck Swirsky(sp?) and Dallas Green were answering phone calls on
WGN and the suggestion arose that if you feel strongly about the
Cubs losing home advantage and playing at night to write Bowie Kuhn.
Here's the address they broadcasted

	Bowie Kuhn
	Commissioner of Major League Baseball
	350 Park Ave.
	New York, N. Y.  10022

	(212)371-7800

Dallas Green says if the commissioner says install lights, they will
have to install lights.  He 'says' he thinks if the Cubs win it
playing day ball, they should complete the season playing day ball at home.

I think the day has come that lights will be installed permanently
in Wrigley Field. Not this year, probably next.  I just hope weekend
games stay during the day.  Nothing like the bleachers on a summer 
afternoon.
