My oldest brother was at the game that day. His house in the Marina District was destroyed. Remember the big fire? Bill’s house was like a block from that area.
I grew up about an hour from San Francisco. When the quake hit, I was 11 years old, and home alone. One of the scariest moments of my life. But I kept my cool, hid under the dinner table and waited it out. Thankfully, our house only received minimum damage.
Was huge into the A’s back then (a time when McGwire was a stringy power-hitter … sigh), glued to the TV for the Series like a few guys in my dorm and then WHAM!!! Couldn’t imagine then and barely can now after almost 14 years in Cali (nothing beyond rollers and harmless slams earthquake-wise) the devastation the Bay area endured. Don’t remember one pitch or at-bat from the rest of the Series.
