The Federal League was an attempt to establish a third major league in baseball in the United States. The league had started as a minor league in 1913 as the Columbia League. It is considered by Major League Baseball to have been a major league from 1914-1915. The FL consisted of 8 teams each season. The Chicago team played Weeghman Park that is better known today as Wrigley Field.
