About South Side Park III

South Side Park III opened in 1900 at 39th Street and Princeton Avenue and served as home to the Chicago White Sox from 1901 until they moved to the new Comiskey Park in 1910. Negro Leagues pioneer Rube Foster and saloonkeeper John Schorling then took over the site, renaming it Schorling Park, where Foster's Chicago American Giants won championships through the 1910s and 1920s. The wooden ballpark burned down on Christmas Day, 1940.
