Truly an end of an era. Remember taking BART from SF, and getting off the train right at the stadium. Getting there about 15 minutes before gametime, and purchasing seats 6-10 rows up from field on first base side. And that was during the second of three World Series championships. Buying a 'bucket' of beer for a couple of bucks. Food was better than Candlestick, and warmer in the stadium as well. Someone showed me a trick after the game. Get up to the Bart station, and board the train going South! for a stop, exit, go to other side of tracks, and board the train going back toward the City. You could get a seat before you got to the clot of folks boarding to go back to SF. Back in the days of Reggie Jackson, Blue Moon Odom, Catfish Hunter, the under-handed thrower Eckersley, Ricky Henderson, and others in my dim memories.
