During the 1930's the Works Progress Administration provided jobs for the millions
of un-employed workers of the Great Depression. The goal was simply to build
things... things that could help a community come together and create something
they could not only be proud of but put dinner on the table as well. One of the
most common creations that Franklin Delano Roosevelt's WPA contracted for, were
ballparks. Stunning bucolic, beautiful ballparks that to this day... no one
can seem to re-capture the beauty of, no matter how |
many "retro parks" they try to build in reverence. |
