Sometime after 1929. A crowd watches a baseball game at Wrigley Field in South Los Angeles. The baseball venue was built in 1925 and torn down in 1969. It hosted the minor league baseball teams Hollywood Stars and Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels (not the present-day L.A. Angels). The field was named after chewing-gum magnate William Wrigley, who was also namesake for the iconic Wrigley Field in Chicago. Wrigley Field in Los Angeles actually was so named first. L.A.'s Wrigley Field also received stadium lights for night games in 1930, 58 years before Chicago's venue did. Wrigley Field of Los Angeles was acquired by the Dodgers in 1957, a year before they moved to L.A. The new L.A. Angels expansion team played at Wrigley Field from 1960 through 1961. By 1961, the Dodgers had donated Wrigley Field to the city, in exchange for an acquistion deal for the land at Chavez Ravine. The ballpark was demolished in 1969. Today, the original Wrigley Field site, at the corner of East 42nd Place and Avalon Boulevard, is the location of Gilbert Lindsay Park (featuring sports and recreation facilities) and the Kedren Community Health Center.
