Denise Lentz
The last major league team to have lights installed in their stadium was the Chicago Cubs
Player #26129643
Little known fact: because of the fact that the Cubs didn't play night games at home, up until the late 1980s many Chicago offices had 'half-days' when the Cubs had home games on Fridays during summer.
Waldo Lydeker
The Negro Leagues were way ahead of the curve on this one, yet players had to wait another 18 years before being allowed to play with the big boys. Only in America, land of the free, and home of the brave. Brave as in Hank Aaron.
