The latter of the two parks, where the franchise played for nearly a quarter century, was the home of the last world champion Cubs team, the team that posted the best winning percentage in Major League Baseball history and won the most games in National League history, the only cross-town World Series in Chicago, and the immortalized Tinker to Evers to Chance double-play combo. Both ballparks were what are now called "wooden" ballparks.

The first West Side Park was from 1885-1891.
The second one was built a few blocks west-southwest of the 1st one and was used from 1893-1915.

I believe he stated that this project was for the 1908 park.

Weeghman Park was built in 1914. The Cubs didn't play there until the 1916 season.

This info is from Wikipedia, search West Side Park, Weeghman Park.

One of the West Siude Grounds, not sure which one. Possibly both, stood where UIC is at today. The RF? wall would be in the middle of the Dan Ryan southbound lane. Home plate is somewhere on the campus, although perhaps not in its original location. The 1st WSG might be where the UIC Medical Center is at.

Any chance for South Side Park?
