Default Sf giants earthquake world series game

I WENT TO THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS / OAKLAND A'S WORLD SERIES
GAME 3 AT CANDLESTICK PARK - BATTLE OF THE BAY
HAD BASEBALL COMMISSIONER FAY VINCENT AUTOGRAPH AND DATE A BASEBALL FOR ME. OCTOBER 17, 1989 - THEN THE EARTHQUAKE - GAME CANCELLED.
I WENT BACK FOR THE RE-SCHEDULED GAME 10 DAYS LATER.
FOUND COMMISSIONER VINCENT AND HAD HIM SIGN ANOTHER BASEBALL.
HE SIGNED IT "GAME 3 (2) OCT 27,1989"
A VERY UNIQUE PAIR OF AUTOGRAPHED BASEBALLS - I WOULD GUESS THE ONLY ONES OF THEIR TYPE IN EXISTENCE.

Was driving down El Camino Real with the game on the radio when the pavement started undulating. An all-time WTF!! Moment. McGwire to Canseco to Loma Prieta . . words that were heavy with nothing but trouble for my Giants.

Yes, from the joy of defeating the Cubs to the dread of the earthquake and eventual sweep at the hands of Oakland. Never know how it may have ended up if the pitching rotations had played out. There was talk of Rickey trade to SF before he ended up in Oakland as well... what if

Giants lost their mojo between the NLCS and the WS. I sat with Jose Uribe's extended family for all three SF games of the NLCS. OOO-ribay!!

My first wife and I were on our honeymoon in Bermuda. We were at the hotel next to ours as they showed movies each night. As we walked out of the movie there was a big screen television in the foyer showing the game. We walked by just as the cameras started shaking.

Wiffle balls are hard enough to hit when the ground’s NOT shaking!

Great idea to get another ball signed when the Series resumed. Cool momentos Jerry.

Default At the game

My wife and I were at the game. Got the tickets from Dick Dobbins. We had flown up that morning just for the game from Los Angeles.
