The Diamondbacks will be wearing Kansas City Packers throwback uniforms Wednesday.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to help make some history Wednesday. They'll take the field against the Chicago Cubs on the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field.

Each team will wear modified throwback uniforms to honor the two teams who played on April 23, 1914. The Cubs will play dressed as the Chicago Federals. The D-backs will play dressed as the Kansas City Packers.

The Valley is the spring training home of the Cubs, and home to many beleaguered Cubs fans.

Nick Blumberg was a senior field correspondent at KJZZ from 2010 to 2014.
