Heart-stopping Games, Heroes and Villains from the Docks of San Pedro. . .This book will draw you into the soul of a small town on the docks of the Los Angeles Harbor-a town with a never-say-die attitude in sports from the sandlots to the streets, and a reputation for never backing down from a fight. A town where words like loyalty, family, pride, and love are exhibited every day, and generation after generation carry on the traditions that make it one of the most recognizable towns in the US. From the wealthy neighborhoods above Western Avenue to projects below Pacific Avenue; from Cliffs of Point Fermin Park to the five points that separate San Pedro from Harbor City, one thing remains a constant: San Pedro is a town of winners and they are proud of it. In Once a Pirate Always a Pirate, the town shares some of its most exciting and hilarious moments. Meet its greatest heroes and some of its most adventurous youths and borderline criminals in this fun and entertaining account of San Pedro, where being called a rat is a term of endearment, and the high school kids take great pride in being pirates-San Pedro Pirates.
