The history of how the land was acquired to build Dodger Stadium is a long and sad one, involving the seizure of family homes and the eviction of thousands of families from Chavez Ravine. The home of the Dodgers was made possible 62 years ago this week, when Los Angeles residents voted to give the land to their new ballclub. Mike and Bill go through the Dodgers' move from Brooklyn and of the community that was uprooted. Plus, happy birthday to Ted Breitenstein and Dean Chance!
