October 26, 1946, marks the 79th anniversary of the inauguration of the Gran Stadium de La Habana. I am showing photos of the construction of the field. Baseball has been played on this field for three centuries. In the 1880s, a gazebo and field were built, and games were played on Sundays and holidays. This continued into the early 20th century, until the inauguration in 1946. It was the home of the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame.
