Here's a framed calendar page from 1936 that celebrates the first night game in MLB history at Crosley Field. It's difficult to get a good photo due to the glare of the glass. In the close-up photo, the woman pictured bears a striking resemblance to the character Glenn Close played in "The Natural," right down to the contrast of her blonde hair and white dress juxtaposed against a sea of dark suits and hats. The scene is the one where Roy Hobbs finally breaks a hitting slump by smashing the clock in Wrigley Field. That's the family dog, by the way, photobombing the first photo.
