...know about the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, and we all know that it's supposed to happen again sometime. The epic aerial shots of the city-on-the-bay that the television networks played throughout last Tuesday evening certainly carried enough historical grandeur to fit into a future documentary on the 20th century. The World Series angle could only help: putting the Series off for more than a week nearly guarantees an historical asterisk, at least. And we were there...

...bats--wood ones, of course. There was this one bat (Johnny Bench model, 30-ouncer) that I made sure was always properly placed in our team's equipment bag. I almost hit my only real home run (you know, when the ball actually goes into the trees on no bounces) with it.
