History: Brooklyn’s new Federal League franchise were owned by the Ward Bros. who, in an example of early cross-marketing, named the team after their Tip-Top Bread. The club played in Washington Park, former home of the Superbas (later Dodgers), but completely rebuilt using the same plans as Chicago’s new Weeghman Park (later renamed Wrigley Field).
