Stealing Home by Eric Nusbaum
Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between
Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in the mid-20th century, this narrative delves into the complex and often overlooked history of the Chavez Ravine neighborhood. It explores the lives of the Mexican-American families who lived there and their forced displacement to make way for the construction of Dodger Stadium. Through a blend of historical research and personal stories, the book paints a vivid picture of community, resilience, and the bittersweet cost of progress, shedding light on the intersection of sports, politics, and social justice.
