    Actually for the Red Sox it's the first game at Wrigley since 1918 World Series. Very eery.

    The Yanks have played in SL but not in Busch Stadium, we have actually met 5 times in the WS w/ SL winning 3 series and the Yanks 2 and the most recent was 1964 which signalled the end of another Yankee dynasty in which we wouldn't recover for another decade.

    The Cubs actually played their home games in that WS at Comiskey park b/c it had a higher capacity so the Sox haven't played at Wrigley.
