Cubs from Page 28 came on Dawson hit the first Homer of the Competition and the first at night in Wrigley. His shot landed in the left Field bleachers and he hit six More Over the fences. I saw it real Well Dawson said. But maybe when it gets a Little Darker it will be different in the  some of the cubs however had trouble seeing the Ball. I was told by my players that there is a particular problem in the left Field Corner manager Don Zim Mer said. Apparently the lights cover the left Field Fence and not that part of the Outfield where players have to go almost out of sight. Some of the players complained about the Ball going Down the lines some times could not be picked up right  Vance Law the cubs third baseman said he had trouble picking the Ball up. When i was shagging flies Down the left Field line definitely had problems Law said. I Only saw half the Ball. In my opinion they re going to have to do something. The biggest thing for me to get used to is that there Are no lights Between the left and right Field foul lines but the lighting in that area is great. What makes me Happy and most of the other play ers is that we Are eliminating those 3 05 games where it becomes impossible to see the Ball after 5 o  but among those in the crowd there was Joy and nostalgia. This is different from anything we be Ever done in the past cubs spokesman Ned Colletti said. Don Genesco cubs vice president of baseball operations said the team s first Home night game has generated More attention than a playoff or world series game. It s unbelievable he said. When we began this project nobody Ever dreamed it would reach the kind of Climax we re heading  among those watching were Bart Giamatti nation Al league president and de Vargo head of the nation Al league umpires. Giamatti said the installation of lights which Cost $5 million would ensure the future of Wrigley Field. I would have feared for its future had lights no been installed he said. This Park is synonymous not just with Chicago but in so Many ways with  but Vargo saw the passing of something unique. You want to know the truth he said. To me the nostalgia s right Here. You think of Chicago right now you think of Day baseball. But he added you can t beat  tickets for the workout sold for $100 apiece with the proceeds going to the cubs care Charity Benefit. By mid afternoon More than 3,000 had been sold said John Mcdonough the team s director of marketing. The first night game is still two weeks away but it took More than the flick of a switch to bring the lights to Wrigley Field. The Tribune co. Bought the team in 1981 and said soon afterwards that it wanted to put in lights. The ensuing fight was bitter with la in Akers at inc City and state Levels wrangling Over the Issue amid cubs threats to move and protests from nearby residents who feared night baseball would bring noise congestion and vandalism. Finally in february the City Council lifted its anti noise ban and installation of the lights began two months later. Opponents of night baseball scheduled their own Mon Day night practice meeting behind Wrigley Field to organize neighbourhood patrols for the first night game. The cubs the last major league team to install lights will play their first Home night game against the Phila Delphia Phillies. The team has scheduled seven night games this year 53 years after the first major league night baseball game in Cincinnati
