Deeg and Cactus have today's points.
Zachary Taylor Davis not only designed Wrigley Field, but he was
also the architect of the original Comiskey Park.
Jim Frey did, indeed win the NL Manager of the Year Award in
1984.

Seriously, since Wrigley in Los Angeles was an exact copy of
Wrigley in Chicago...

It wasn't. There was a clock tower in one corner. Also, very
short foul lines resulting in lots of homers for Steve Bilko in
the Angels' first year.

The Angels played one year in Wrigley, 1961. Bilko had 20 HR
that year, with 11 of them at home and 9 on the road, which
doesn't appear to be too dramatic a difference.
CFer Ken Hunt, on the other hand, appears to have benefited
quite a bit. Hunt hit 17 HR at home for the Angels that year,
and only 8 on the road, in 50 fewer home ABs. Hunt never hit
more than 6 HR in any other season.
