Remembering the Stick: Candlestick Park—1960–2013

Steven Travers

4.9/5 (14715 ratings)

Description:Described by famed baseball scribe Roger Angell as looking like “a festive prison yard” during the 1962 World Series, Candlestick was loved and hated by sports teams and fans alike for its 43 years of existence. Built on a landfill above a garbage dump in a city rocked by an 8.6 earthquake only 54 years earlier, it was notorious for the tornadic winds that came off the bay, probably costing Willie Mays at least 100 career home runs. The fogs that rolled in looked like something God sent to pass over His Chosen people. And of course, there was the famous 1989 World Series earthquake that postponed the opening game for 10 days. But it was also home to the greatest run of sustained excellence in pro football the 1981–1994 49ers, as well as the exploits of baseball stars such as Mays and Juan Marichal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
