Sheriff’s deputies evict a family from their home so it can be bulldozed to make way for the construction of Dodger Stadium. Chavez Ravine, Los Angeles,`59. `58, public housing plans for Chavez Ravine area of L.A. were abandoned in favor of creating baseball stadium.
@Jimfrombaseball Had the same kind of controversy in Toronto during the building of Skydome.
@Jimfrombaseball “Stealing Home” is a fantastic book about the Dodgers move west - and the political machinations that took place to make it happen. ••• Eric Nusbaum’s research and writing is as good as it gets. The man did his homework for a lot of years to get the story right. • Must read.
@Jimfrombaseball The vast Mexican population of Los Angeles loves going to Dodger Stadium.
@Jimfrombaseball not anyone's finest moment. supposedly the bulldozers started to knock down some homes that still had people in them ..

@Jimfrombaseball Main reason why the Mexican population never warmed up to the dodgers until Fernando mania in the early 80's
@Jimfrombaseball An understated black mark on LA Dodger history.
@Jimfrombaseball Cannot Even Imagine It
