In 1929, the Chicago Cubs were the city's National League club, playing at Wrigley Field on the North Side, a ballpark the team's owner, William Wrigley Jr., had renamed in 1927 from Cubs Park. Chicago was then a rail and meatpacking center with more than 3 million residents, and its neighborhoods took sharp pride in rivalries between the Cubs and the American League White Sox on the South Side. Baseball drew large crowds to the North Side that summer, and radio broadcasts carried games into homes across the Midwest. That fall, the stock market crash of October 1929 signaled the start of the Depression, which would soon weigh heavily on the same families who followed the team.
