Athletics-Dodgers ‘88 World Series Game 1 with Mike Madrid

Mike Madrid (The Latino Vote Podcast) and host Thomas Emerick make their way north of downtown for Game 1 of the 1988 Fall Classic between the Los Angeles Dodgers and visiting Oakland Athletics.

A true exclamation point on LA's transformative decade.
