What were the odds though it would happen right at the time of a World Series Game between the two Bay Area teams?

Of course, not even an earthquake was going to stop the A’s that season.

I was approx 60 miles away, as the crow flies and shook moderately for about eight seconds. The aluminum street light poles swayed like the car antennas. Unbelievable energy release...But the Alaska 1964 quake, approx 9.2, was felt in Seattle... 1200 miles away.

The A's have played the Giants 4 times in the World Series and won 3 of the 4 (1911, 1913 and 1989), losing once (1905).

There was the major earthquake in 1906 in San Francisco but it didn't impact the World Series because (1) the quake was in April and (2) there were no major league teams west of St. Louis at the time.
