Change:

"Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is known for its fickle disposition: a hitter's park when the strong winds off Lake Michigan are blowing out, it becomes more of a pitcher's park when they are blowing in.[133]"

to:

"Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is known for its fickle disposition: a hitter's park when the winds are blowing out, it becomes more of a pitcher's park when the winds off Lake Michigan are blowing in."

This would then be in agreement with the currently cited source which states "There is the pitcher's park version that occurs when the wind is blowing in off Lake Michigan. / And there is the hitter's haven that happens when the wind blows out." The winds blowing out are not off Lake Michigan.

Origins
I'm not sure that it is accurate to say that the origins of baseball are difficult to trace with precision given the existence of a game with the same name and the same rules a early as 1744.

To reference the Wikipedia article on Rounders, the game that was originally called Base-ball:

"Played in England since Tudor times, it is referenced in 1744 in the children's book A Little Pretty Pocket-Book where it was called Base-Ball.[4] "

I suggest that this can be improved by merely cutting to the chase and presenting the "first known mention of the game of baseball... etc." Perhaps I will take a turn at bat and give it a try, as a previous editor has incorrectly identified the game as "bass-ball". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240F:37:11D6:1:3401:1694:4276:5770 (talk) 04:30, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

This link is amazing but they need to make one for youth because there are some different rules for the youth and i think it would be amazing for younger kids
