Let’s correct the obviously wrong things there first. Weeghman Park was the original name of Wrigley Field when it was built in 1914. The Cubs moved there in 1916, and when the Wrigley family completed its purchase of the team in 1920, it became known as Cubs Park. It was renamed Wrigley Field in 1926.

So in 1922, it would have been known as Cubs Park.
