Yes, I know what happened in 1989 at Candlestick. My mom was working for the Red Cross setting up aid stations for the World Series- she didn’t come home for a week once the earthquake struck.
At that point, I don’t think too many people gave a rats ass about sports.
In 2010, and as long as the A’s have Billy Bean, they will not be close the the playoffs.
I’m pretty sure Billy Beane has been to the playoffs more than Brian Sabean. With a fraction of the money.
