ERIC NUSBAUM Author of… STEALING HOME LOS ANGELES, THE DODGERS, AND THE LIVES CAUGHT IN BETWEEN In Conversation With Los Angeles Times Columnist… GUSTAVO ARELLANO

Stealing Home is a story about baseball, family, the American Dream, and the fight to turn Los Angeles into a big league city. The hills that cradle Dodger Stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned, the land was intended for public housing, but then it was sold to the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The ensuing confrontation captivated the nation and the divisive outcome still echoes through Los Angeles today.

BE THE CHANGE SERIES is sponsored by the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission, with funding from the Urban Art Fund.
