And I really have my doubts about other players on the A's team such as Dave Stewart, Dennis Eckersley and Dave Henderson. I mean c'mon. Those guys were mediocre to average before they got to LaRussa's juiced team. It's sad that the Giants were robbed of competing on a level playing field.

I remember listening to Giants games when I was little living in Danville with my small transistor radio, going to the first Giants game at Candlestick park with my Godfather, sitting in the left field bleachers with my dad at every Giant Dodger series. My dad was a Dodger fan!! To finally be able to photograph a Giants World Series was a great moment in my career. To have the World Series against the Oakland A's along with the events of the worst earthquake to happen in a major US city was a memory I will never forget. Being with fellow staffer Bob Larson at Candlestick Park the night of the earthquake and shooting with you the night the A's beat the Giants, the game our staff got there just minutes before game time because our boss Randy Becker was late meeting us at the paper because he was mowing his lawn and doing yard work, and having to drive the San Mateo Bridge to Candlestick because of the damage to the Bay Bridge was an event you brought back with your story. I to always think about that series and the many memories of the Giants and Candlestick when I am kneeling in the mud shooting a 49er game. You have a great way of bringing back what all that meant to a baseball fan growing up in the Bay Area. Great Job. Hey Brad I loved your story of the 1989 World Series between the Giants and the A’s.

I remember this series well. I was a recent college graduate living with my grandparents on Staten Island. My Grandfather (who was an old NY Giants fan)and I were settling in to watch the game when the TV went fuzzy. We ended up watching news reports of the San Francisco earthquake instead. Great story.
