Happy 100th Bday to Weeghman Park
 

... And the Federal League. Congrats Chitown!

Going today, it'll be a bit chilly but baseball at Wrigley is finally here, bad as it may be.

The Cubs are going to wear Federal League uniforms for a game.

Would love to watch that game in its entirety.

1914 Postcard
 

Happy 100th! My favorite postcard of Wrigley Field in my collection. Real photo postcard postmarked 1914. Only image I have seen of the park where you can see one of the old seminary buildings in left field before it was demolished.

I love that line...


Brilliant CHIFEDS Card Rob!

Here's a piece of Weeghman Park/Federal League trivia:

Who started the inaugural game at Weeghman Park for the visiting KC Packers, and why did he only pitch two innings in the game?
