Three members of The Swedish Hospital School of Nursing baseball team the "Svenska Sharpies" practiced in front of their dorm in 1947. The games were arranged by the Minneapolis Park Board. The Swedish Hospital merged with St. Barnabas hospital in 1971 to become Metropolitan Medical Center. That institution closed in 1991. Hennepin Healthcare now occupies the buildings.
