Wayback: Wrigley 2015

Wrigley is the midst of an extensive modernization -- but one that keeps with the classic ballpark's character.  Bleachers are being rebuilt; the video board posts the lineups with an old fashioned look.

Jon Niese is on the mound for New York.

Top of the 9th, the Mets last chance: down by a run... a runner on 1st and Dilson Herrera at bat.
