"Six World Series games have been played at Candlestick Park, but the most memorable October event there was the World Series game that wasn’t played. That was on October 17, 1989, when an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter Scale preempted what was to have been Game 3 of the 1989 Bay Bridge World Series against the Oakland A’s. As houses crumbled, highways buckled and bridges collapsed, Candlestick Park stood strong - with 62,000 people packed inside it, none of whom were injured. In 1993, under a new group of owners led by former Safeway head Peter Magowan, some significant changes were made to the park to make it more fan friendly. More games were played during the day, the food was improved and a new bleacher section was built in left field which was closer to the action."
WOW! I REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE I WAS DURING THAT EARTHQUAKE!

actually, that's rather common knowledge. Mick reminded folks during a concert there in '81 about this fact, and then something about "some useless information." |

In 1981, I was a little girl and couldn't quite make it to the concert, so I wasn't there to hear him say that!
But, I read that somewhere out there, there is a bootleg video of that concert! Maybe, I will get lucky and find it some day! |
