Do you remember the southern part of Candlestick Park. I took this shot in 1988.

I love looking at the design of the red pattern of the support beams circling the outside of the stadium.

The vintage cars in the parking lot remind us of this eta in the 80’s.

Notice the ramp which leads to other parking lot areas. It provided a safe ok walkway away from the moving cars.

Candlestick Park was a welcoming stadium. Tickets were affordable. I did not have to plan ahead to go to a game. I could spontaneously go to a game and just buy tickets to attend a SF Giants game.

Can we also learn to welcome people into our life? Are we accessible to people? Do we have walls preventing people into our lives? Do we share our experiences with others to encourage or help someone?

We can all learn from the legacy of Candlestick Park.

Farewell to SF Giants Great – Willie McCovey

  • Hall of Fame Disc of Willie McCovey
  • Hall of Fame Discs at Candlestick Park in 1988.

I was very sad to learn about the passing of Willie McCovey yesterday.  He was one of my favorite players.

When he got to the batter’s box, he had a distinctive practice swing.  He was a left handed hitter and had a slow deliberate practice swing but would hit the ball so hard that he could rip the cover off the ball. Willie McCovey could hit mammoth upper deck home runs.

I saw him play at Candlestick Park. I went to see the SF Giants play with my parents when I was a child. That was first time I saw him hit the upper deck home run in right field. My mother was so excited, impressed, and in awe.  I was so happy to finally go to a game where I could actually see my hero in action. All I remember about this game is the fun time I shared with my parents and seeing the great Willie McCovey play. I don’t remember who the SF Giants played against. I don’t remember the score. But Willie McCovey made a big impression for myself and my parents.

Willie McCovey – you will be dearly missed!

img032 Copy img022 Copy img021 Copy img012 Dust Removed CopyWelcome to the SF Giants Home Opener against the Florida Marlins on Monday, April 12, 1993.  The pre-game show was very festive and a privilege to see and hear The Grateful Dead performed the National Anthem.  It was great to see 5 Giants Hall of Famers throw out the first pitch.  It was also nice that the Giants won 4-3.  All the photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 620 film camera using Kodak Gold 400 color negative film.
