What’s this talk about leaving Chavez Ravine for a new ballpark in downtown LA?
I didn’t even know there was a downtown LA, and I lived there for a few years.
Chavez Ravine? You must be an Angels fan. No way they move from Dodger Stadium. Many improvements over the years have really kept up the stadium.
You will not see "Chavez Ravine" on any English language maps of Los Angeles printed after Dodger Stadium opened, unless, perhaps, separatist groups like La Raza wish to use Senor Chavez's name to evoke the Mexican-American history of the area.
But Selig's legal crew did refer to "Chavez Ravine" in its legal briefs against the Dodgers, undoubtedly to offend McCourt and court favor with Mexican nationalists.
