The Oakland A's swept the San Francisco Giants
in the 1989 World Series, which took place at
San Francisco's Candlestick Park,
but the celebration was subdued.
Just before the start of Game 3 on October 17,
a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck, collapsing part
of the upper level on the Bay Bridge and the entire
Double Decker Cypress Structure on Interstate 880,
in Oakland, Ca. I grew up in Oakland and I was in
this earthquake, it was horrifying, but had the
World Series not been going on that day, there would
have been A LOT more fatalities because there would
have been a lot more motorists on these 2 structures.
