Stealing Home: Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between by Eric Nusbaum

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

 When I heard about this book I was thrilled and tossed out my current TBR to pick this up, but as I listened to the audio version the vignette format (although apt with all the moving parts involved) was difficult to adjust to. Once I was 2/3 into the book the focus is more on the Arechiga Family and I wanted a more intimate account from others in the Cesar Chavez Ravine community. Overall I'm glad this book exists in a world where the Dodger Stadium looms so large the origins of their existence in Los Angeles gets buried under hotdogs and jerseys.
