Lane Field in San Diego was built by the WPA; the last season played there
was 1957 and in the 1960s it was torn down. I don't know what ever became
of the WPA plaque, but in 2003 the Ted Williams Chapter of SABR had a marker
put on the site.

Last year when I was in Newport, Rhode Island, I noted that at Cardines
Field some of the grandstand had been built by the WPA. (I have a picture
for anyone who is interested.)
