All across the Bay Area people were in tears, as the 60,000 plus crowd at Candlestick Park sang the old song San Francisco. "I've been away but now I'm back." It was Friday, October 27. Candlestick Park had been repaired, inspected, and declared safe. The third game of the 1989 World Series was about to begin.

A new television replaced Griff's earthquake shattered TV. Caydance was mashing avocados. At Candlestick Park, an assembled group of firefighters, police, and rescue workers from all walks of life threw out the ceremonial first pitch. In the first inning, with two men on base. Dave Henderson hit a near home run. It bounced off the wall for a double. Lansford and Canseco scored. Oakland 2-San Francisco 0.

Sitting beside Tyrone -- who, in case the series returned to Oakland, had been working long days on the Coliseum grounds -- Sido was in the stands at Candlestick Park. Their trip to New Orleans was postponed until the end of the World Series. In the bottom of the second inning, A's ace pitcher and heroic Oakland Community rescue worker, Dave Stewart, gave up a homerun to Giants infielder Matt Williams. Oakland 2-San Francisco 1.
