Remember original ('59) Home Run Derby? One of the left field houses (at least) is still there!

Most of you are probably familiar with the original 1959 Home Run Derby (you can find all the episodes on YouTube and you can get a DVD set of it as well)? For some reason the show never mentioned the host stadium but it was Wrigley Field in Los Angeles (NOT to be confused with the Wrigley Field in Chicago!!). Well I saw those houses in left field and wondered if any were still there. Well here is what that area looks like today, and one of the houses is still there!
