Sixty years ago, the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles bringing Major League baseball to the West Coast. Chavez Ravine was yet to be carved out as the Dodgers’ permanent home, but on April 18, 1958 the Boys of Summer played their first LA game against the San Francisco Giants at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Michael Schiavone’s The Dodgers: 60 Years in Los Angeles chronicles the complete history of the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1957 when they left their long-time home in Brooklyn and Ebbets Field through their sixty seasons in California, ending with the 2017 World Series.
