As always, ESPN did a fine job putting together footage and interviews for the short film. It is highly recommended for fans of both bay area teams, and those interested in a history lesson. The disaster is viewed from both the players and fans perspective, as well as that of the guy who climbs the light standard.
My recollection of that day’s events was mostly bland. I was thirteen at the time, and was definitely excited for the game. But I was also a little worried about the Giants chances, already being down 2-0 in the series.
The A’s had a tremendous one-two combination in Dave Stewart and Mike Moore, and the Giants had scored only one run in the first two games (5-0 and 5-1) against them.
