Default Circa 1877....Chicago's new ballpark
Have to insert this hand-tinted woodcut of the Chicago White Stockings (Cubs) Lake Shore Park.

An easy HR park where Ned Williamson set the 19th Century record with 27 HR's in 1884....that stood till Babe Ruth's 29 HR's.

Anson, Dalrymple and Pfeffer also led the League that season with 20+ HR's each.
