Ravine ....

Yes, I know the history of Chavez Ravine well.

I took care of a patient who'd be about 97 if she were still alive, and the memories of how her family and many other families were "removed" were horrible, and she never got over it. There was and still is so much shame connected to "How" Chavez Ravine was conceived 'for' baseball.
