Friday's Niners Daily covers defensive lineman Quinton Dial's pledge to dedicate the 49ers home opener to a fallen fan.
A recent article on AL.com by Mark Inabinett detailed a heartwarming story about Dial's connection to Alex Fernandez, a 20-year-old 49ers fan who lost his battle with brain cancer on July 10. The two became connected when Fernandez stopped his treatments to concentrate on a list of things he wanted to do before he died. On that list included seeing a 49ers game from Levi's® Stadium.
When it became unlikely that Fernandez would make it to the start of the season, the defensive lineman tried to do the next best thing.
