Because Wrigley Field is a neighborhood ball park, the flag that flies after the game announces to the neighborhood whether the Cubs won or lost.
We knew about it growing up in the 60's, 70's & 80's, but it took off in the World Series season of 2016.
The flag that flies when they win, is a white flag with a blue W & it flies to the left of the main flagpole
Fans wait after the game, to watch the flag go up.
The flag that flies when they lose, is a blue flag with a white L & it flies to the right of the main flagpole
It is a very cool 😎 tradition.
