First night game at The Friendly Confines....cancelled of course, how would have been the 1st to homer if not for the rainout? Then who was the 1st to officially hit the 1st homer at Wrigley?

Les Lancaster is the only guy I remember with a number in the 50's.

I was at the first official game. I cannot remember if I was cheering for the other team that night.

Without looking up, I believe...

Sandberg hit the first homer but got wiped out by rain so it ended up being Lyin Lenny Dykstra
