29 feb 1964 año - 1964 LA FAMILIA WARLORDS EST.

Descripción:

The Warlord’s began in the year 1964 in the Wicker Park neighborhood.  The Warlords were born out of the Latin Kings that formed in this community the same year in the winter.  Once the weather got nicer and spring time came in 1964 the Latin Kings wanted to put together a softball team but the city had banished any team that would be called “Latin Kings,” therefore, the Latin Kings needed to create a team with a different name and that’s when one of their members, Frank, assembled a Latin King softball team called the “Warlords.” The team played at 1425 N. Damen (Damen and Schiller) in the actual Wicker Park park as their home field.  The team congregated at the intersection of Evergreen and Damen (Headquarters) which became the first Warlord section.  Later in the year the Warlords took on their own identity from the Latin Kings and became a club of their own but remained allied with the Latin Kings.
