LEADING OFF: Cards-Cubs open 2015 season at Wrigley Field

Construction continues on renovations to Wrigley Field including the installation of a Jumbotron above the left field bleachers, background, and a Budweiser sign in right field, Thursday, April 2, 2015, in Chicago. When fans arrive for the Chicago Cubs' baseball season opener Sunday, April 5, 2015, against the archrival St. Louis Cardinals, they will get their first real look at the most visible phase of a massive renovation project. Just like in 1937, there will be new bleachers and a new brick outfield wall, just recently adorned with ivy. Even the centerpiece of the project, a brand new Jumbotron, will harken back to the day when Depression-era fans beheld a state-of-the-art manual scoreboard. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
