We extend our thoughts and prayers to the family of Dick Callahan, our former @warriors PA announcer who passed away yesterday. Dick was both terrific and unique at his craft. RIP. #shooting.....2.
We are deeply saddened to learn that former #SFGiants catcher Mike Sadek passed away today after a short illness in San Andreas, CA. He was 74 years old. We send our condolences to his family.
Plaintive wail from 49ers fans during the team’s Kezar era (and passed down to me from my dad, a season ticket holder): “The red shirts, Brodie, THE RED SHIRTS!!!”
Went to a Giants-game in 1970. Mays on first. McCovey was up, looking at a radical shift. So he bunted. A beauty down the third-base line and into the LF corner. Mays scored. Phils’ LF might’ve got McCovey at second, but had to dig around the hot dog wrappers to find the ball.
That ridge will be waiting for you when you’re ready, Cam. In the meantime be kind to yourself and take to heart the good wishes that are flooding your way.
Saw Alabama's Nick Saban talk about his positive COVID-19 test.
First, I hope he stays healthy
In my case, last Monday I got tested as precaution, then ran my 6-mile loop on Pleasanton ridge.
Test came back positive. My body got ravaged with pain. Trying to rally on Day 10 now
Today’s press box for 49ers vs Dolphins: my home office and isolation station.
COVID-19 hit me hard this past week. I crumbled. Recovering still. Writing will distract me.
Virus is cruel, painful, unnerving with ripple effect on family/friends/contacts
Here’s to our health🙏😷
I was there for Stingley as well, but as a fan. I wasn’t hired for a few weeks afterward. I knew he was hurt, but I wasn’t aware how bad he’d been injured until the next day.
@garyscribe Can't recall seeing any serious carnage in baseball, but I was at the Coliseum for Darryl Stingley and at the Alameda County Fair for Juan Gonzalez.
@garyscribe Were you there when Harold Baines hit a bullet that hit A’s P Bo McLaughlin square in the face? It was a terrible smack!sound that we could hear from the CF bleachers. I don’t know if he ever pitched after that.
