The term “White flag time at Wrigley!” means the Cubs have won. The ritual of raising flags after a game is decades-old, but the saying itself only began in the 1990s, as coined by Chip Caray.
Beginning in the days of P.K. Wrigley and the 1937 bleacher/scoreboard reconstruction, a flag with either a “W” or an “L” has flown from atop the scoreboard masthead, indicating the day’s result. In case of a doubleheader that is split, both flags are flown.
