Great news from our friends at the Way Out of Left Field Society. Its official! Here is the announcement from Mike Reischl. We will plan to visit the site for our October 11 meeting.

Rich Hansen, Emil Rothe Chapter

  It's official!  On 20 April 08 I received a letter from William Furry, the Executive Director of the Illinois State Historical Society, informing the Way out In Left Field Society that their application for a historical marker for West Side Grounds Ballpark has been officially approved by the marker committee.  Additionally Mr. Furry related that the marker could be ready for installation as soon as June 1.  We are looking forward to working with the Illinois Historical Society as well as the Illinois Medical District on the project and look forward to a dedication ceremony this summer.  Keep an eye out for us.  We just gave an interview with Lou Carlozo of the Chicago Tribune, and an article may appear in the very near future in the Tempo section.

    We will keep you updated and once again the project could not have advanced to this point without your support.  See you at the dedication ceremony.
