For me, 1989 remains forever etched in memory, specifically, October 17. Game 3 of the Bay Bridge World Series.
At 5:04 pm, the Loma Prieta Earthquake happened. Jeff took me to the airport earlier in the day for my flight to Columbus.
Among the former Giants who attended today's reunion: Kevin Mitchell, Dave Dravecky, Mike Krukow, manager Roger Craig, former owner Bob Lurie, Robby Thompson and Will "The Thrill" Clark. Current Giants CEO Larry Baer announced Clark's 22 jersey will be retired after the 2019 season. In my opinion, it was long overdue.
Clark follows legends such as Willie Mays, Mel Ott (4), Juan Marichal (27), Willie McCovey (44), Orlando Cepeda (30), and most recently, Barry Bonds (25).
