23rd Street Park

The 23rd Street Grounds, also known as State Street Grounds, opened in Chicago in 1872 in what is now the city's Chinatown neighborhood and served as home to the reformed Chicago White Stockings from 1874 to 1877. The original Chicago club had been put out of business by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, and the Chicago Base Ball Association organized a new team that debuted at the grounds in 1874. The White Stockings won the National League's inaugural championship there in 1876 with a 52-14 record.
