Rockford Forest Citys


 

Rockford Forest Citys was one of the first professional baseball clubs, playing for one season during the National Association inaugural year of 1871. Rockford finished with 4 wins and 21 losses, good for last place and 15 1/2 games behind the champion Philadelphia Athletics ball club. The star of that team was Cap Anson who would go on to play 22 seasons with the Chicago Cubs (known then as the Chicago White Stockings and subsequently as the Chicago Colts) and who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1939.
