View 21: Two Cub players at spring training, Santa Catalina Island. View 22: Chicago Cub players, including slugger Hack Wilson (far left), during spring training at Santa Catalina Island. William Wrigley bought the island in 1919, and the Cubs used Avalon as their pre-season base almost exclusively from 1921-1951, in part to boost tourism. In 1937, a Des Moines-based radio announcer who accompanied the Cubs to Catalina used the opportunity to wrangle a screen test with a Hollywood studio; weeks later, Ronald Reagan signed a $200-a-week contract with Warner Bros.
