CHICAGO (WLS) -- The murals lining Wrigley Field's walls along Sheffield and Waveland are meant to mark the ballpark's centennial season, but Cubs fans have also noticed several major inaccuracies. The most glaring of those mistakes is the 1927 shot of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh triumphantly returning to Chicago - an event that actually took place at Comiskey Park.
"Waiting-4-Cubs" blogger Floyd Sullivan, who chronicled the pennant chase in 2008, wrote about the error after he saw it at the centennial game on April 23. Sullivan saw his readership grow expontentially when he asked if there were more mistakes.
"It went nuts," said Sullivan.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not yet president of United States when the photo featured in a mural was taken in 1932. The image of children watching the 1932 World Series from a tree is also inaccurate.
"They built temporary bleachers for that World Series all along Sheffield Avenue almost to the curb taking up the entire street up to the sidewalk on the Wrigley Field side," said Sullivan.
The murals also feature what Sullivan says is not a Cubs team patch for the 1951 season; rather it was worn league wide to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the national league.
"There's something in the overly corporate philosophy of the Cubs that is blinding them to the sensitivities of their core fan base," he said.
That sentiment dominated online discussions about the murals as well. Fans on Twitter were vocal about their displeasure, with one fan tweeting, "The Cubs can't even get their own history right-then again, getting nothing right IS the Cubs' history."
While some are concerned about what these mistakes mean for a team which, they insist, has an eroding fanbase, perhaps that's getting a bit ahead.
"I still love them," said fan Steve Young.
