The Chicago Whales were a professional baseball team based
in Chicago. They played in the Federal League, a short-lived "third Major
League", in 1914 and 1915. They originally lacked a formal nickname, and
were known simply as the "Chicago Federals" (or "Chi-Feds")
to distinguish them from the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox. The team was
founded by Charles Weeghman. They came in second in the Federal League rankings
in 1914 and won the league championship in 1915. They came to an end when the
Federal League came to a deal with the National and American Leagues that
disbanded all its teams. As a result of the deal owner Weeghman was allowed to
purchase a stake in the Chicago Cubs. The Whales are notable as the original
occupants of the stadium now known as Wrigley Field, the current home of the
Cubs and the only Federal League stadium still in use.
