Here is a Federal League team photo print with the complete team, including an image of Charles Weeghman who built them a new ballpark, which ultimately became the home of the Chicago Cubs when the Federal League folded. The Federal League was the last major attempt to establish an independent competitive professional baseball league to compete with the National and American Leagues. No one ever tried again to compete with the powers that be after the Federal League failed. There are some condition issues including masking tape and major creasing, but this photo remains very rare and informational. Measures 9.5x14".
