My Favorite Taco ~ Molly Knight

Molly Knight writes about baseball. For the past eight seasons she's been based at ESPN the Magazine, but recently turned her full attention to her hometown team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the subject of her book The Best Team Money Can Buy. The book is a New York Times bestseller, and has been snapped up by Dodgers fans all over the world, as well as people who just generally find sports fascinating. The book's publisher describes it thusly:

News-making, inside revelations about the tumultuous years when the Los Angeles Dodgers were remade from top to bottom—from the ownership of the team to management to the players on the field—becoming the most talked-about and most colorful team in baseball.

In 2012 the Los Angeles Dodgers were bought out of bankruptcy in the most expensive sale in sports history. Los Angeles icon Magic Johnson and his partners hoped to put together a team worthy of Hollywood: consistently entertaining. By most accounts they have succeeded, if not always in the way they might have imagined.

Good choice! And they have a convenient location on Sunset just below Dodger Stadium, which makes it that much more appropriate. Word to the wise- if you plan to go pre-game there, go early as it gets packed before games.
