South Side Park II (1890-1893)
The second South Side Park was at 35th Street and South Wentworth Avenue, just east of the eventual Comiskey Park. It was first the home of the Chicago entry of the Players League of 1890 (whose roster included Charles Comiskey), and then was the home of the National League team now called the Chicago Cubs during parts of 1891–1893.

Healing and poisonous herbs the same soil bears,
And rose and nettle oft grow side by side.”
