A friend of ours who is handicapped was parked as far away from the stadium as possible (next to the front entrance to the parking lot) parking attendants told him to call Dodgers hotline # for golf cart pick up to and from the front gates. He said he called around 6:35pm and was told they were to busy and he would need to walk into the show from shakedown street. Luckily he could but almost passed out from heat exhaustion during the first set.
Anybody have any other stories to share. One of his relatives is reaching out to ADA lawyer.
The Giants had Jack Clark/Vida Blue/McCovey (retired end of 79)/Bill Madlock/ Mike IVIE/Bob Knepper and others. It was 1978 and that was the last year they made a run in the 70's before fizzling in August.
I went to Dodger (Chavez Ravine) only time in 1979 with a pal- 4 game set with the Giants. Dodgers took 3 out of 4. Beautiful Stadium.
Mad Dog, Poison Ivey and Jack The Ripper. Yeah, I remember those guys. Vida Blue I always thought of as an Oakland Athletic, but he gave the Giants some good years too.
Remember Atlee Hammaker? Played from '82-'90 for the Giants. He went to my high school, and helped get the team to the State Championship game. Had a great 1983 season where he started the All-Star Game but got bombed for 7 runs in 0.2 innings, giving up the only grand salami in ASG history to Freddy Lynn.
In 75 , Giants had two young promising young kids in outfield w an old vet...gary mathews, gary maddox, and bobby murcer...they were all gone in a cpl years...bad trades and the free agent era hurt this mismanaged team...
Count of Montefusco...chris speir...above mentioned etc...they had talent, but i blv they were a 81-81 team at best most of that era
He killed the Giants, just killed' em. And then he went to the Cubs and he killed them there. Dumpy little penguin.
Those were my formative years, and the Giants always sucked in those days and the Dodgers were great.
But while the games were always brutal you could get away with a lot in the '70s, and there was nothing like a Giants/Dodgers night game at Candlestick back then.
It was a party.
And common' Turtle, every team does promotions, it's baseball tradition, the Giants just do it better. On Jerry Day at AT&T the Hallowed Sless, Molo & Sears set up on top of the 1st base dugout and play GD music before the game. At Dodgers Stadium you can get a Alex Wood bobblehead. Giants win.
Anyway, it's telling how it takes Dead & Company & a Giants fan to get any decent Dodgers commentary going around here.
