70 years ago today, April 26, 1941, Wrigley Field became the first Major League ballpark to install an organ.
Roy Nelson tickled the ivories of the original pipe organ, and did just a dandy job. He was followed by Jack Kerney in the late 60's and the likes of Frank Pellico, Vance Fothergill and John Henzel in the 70's. Good old Ed Vodicka - great name - and Bruce Miles handled the tickling in the early 80's, and our good old pal - and current ivory tickler - Gary Pressey took over in 1987.
Tickle on Mr. Pressey. . . Tickle On.
