Dodger Stadium’s Shameful Origin Story
<p>Chavez Ravine is a canyon and series of hills in Elysian Park just north of downtown Los Angeles. It’s the home of Dodger Stadium, a beautiful baseball park that recently turned 80 years old. The Dodgers and their stadium are the pride of Los Angeles. But there’s a dark history to the site. In order for Dodger Stadium to be built, the city of Los Angeles took homes from 1800 Mexican-American families and destroyed three vibrant neighborhoods. The story is shameful and lends a painful footnote to the history of baseball in Los Angeles.</p>
