Awesome read, your post brings up some many memories. I grew up in San Jose. I got into baseball card collecting and for some reason the Dodgers were my favorite team, probably because my favorite color is blue. But my dad was a die hard Giants fan, as well as a Padres fan since he grew up in San Diego. Some of my fondest memories are of my pops and I going to Candlestick park and watching Will "The Thrill" Clark and Kevin Mitchell play ball. Speaking of Kevin Mitchell, I remember watching a game on TV where he was running in the outfield and caught a fly ball with his bare hand. haha. Then came the Bonds era. Wait did I see any Barry Bonds jerseys in your pictures above?....Wonder why? lol. I will always remember October 17th, 1989. That is my brother's birthday. He turned 16 that day. I was 11. He and a friend of mine and I were playing football in the street, when all of a sudden the earthquake struct, the roads turned into waves, water from the neighbors pool came over the 6 foot high fence. It was a crazy experience. Then later after all was well, I found myself at a friends house watching my beloved Giants get pounced on by the Oakland As. I didn't see any McGuire or Canseco aka (The Bash Brothers) jerseys either up above. haha. Anyways thanks for this great post and the memories it brought back to me. :) And of course I like that the Giants have won 3 World Series in the past decade. haha.
