On the top of the Wrigley Field page at cubs.com, they have a brief history of the ballpark. It says...

 

"Wrigley Field, which was built in 1914, will be playing host to Major League Baseball for the 94th season in 2007 - and to the Cubs for the 92nd year."

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong here....

 

Now obviously the Chicago Whales (of the federal league) played there in 1914-1915. The Cubs have been playing there since 1916.

 

The federal league, while a professional baseball league, was in no way the Major Leagues. (yes they did have some former Cubs players - Three Fingers Brown, Joe Tinkers..) But isn't it wrong to say that MLB has been playing there since 1914?

 

Just curious...
