It’s finally baseball season, which means everybody is putting the last minute touches on constructing the perfect field.

Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is in the midst of renovating not only their team, but their bleachers as well.

The bleachers are being covered by a tarp sporting a tribute to the late Ernie Banks, who passed away in January.

Not only is it aesthetically pleasing to say the least, but it’s beautifully done while the bleachers are being worked on. It’s looking like May or June is when they are expected to be opened.

“Mr. Cub” was a 14-time All-Star and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977.
