Many years ago a very intoxicated Giants fan killed himself at Candlestick Park by falling from the upper deck after a night game. This resulted in the Giants stopping the sale of “hey beer” in the stands.

I remember that — I was at the game, the fan fell fan after it had ended.

Frank Robinson was managing then and made an awful decision regarding a double-switch. The Giants lost because of it. There was a lot of booing and rowdy drunkenness as was common at the ‘Stick, especially in the left field bleachers.

Glad the Giants cleaned that up — Pac-Bell (now AT&T) is a great place to bring the family & enjoy the game. Not a bad seat in the house.
