Cubs to unveil updated Walk of Fame

The Chicago Cubs Marketing Department today announced the updated Walk of Fame will be unveiled on Friday, April 5 at the Cubs home opener.

The Walk of Fame, which honors the contributions of players and staff in Cubs history, will consist of 25 banners hanging throughout the main concourse at Wrigley Field. The banners, which measure 4 feet by 7 feet, will hang 13 feet off the concourse. Modern day players are represented in full color while historical prints will appear in sepia tones. Each banner will feature a photo of the honoree as well as dates of service.

"We are paying tribute to the greatest players in Cubs history," said John McDonough, Cubs vice president of marketing and broadcasting. "This is a symbolic representation of the history of the Cubs - from broadcasters to batting champions to Cy Young Award Winners."

The Walk of Fame was established in 1992. Members were selected through fan balloting in the 1990's. Inductees include Cap Anson, Ernie Banks, Jack Brickhouse, Harry Caray, Andre Dawson, Ferguson Jenkins, Yosh Kawano, Ryne Sandberg, Ron Santo, Sammy Sosa and Hack Wilson.

The original Walk of Fame, which was located on the sidewalk at the corner of Clark and Addison, was removed in December 2001 due to severe deterioration.
