Croix de Candlestick...

Throwing stuff at Dodger fans...

Hurricane in the outfield...

Some lady PA announcer...

Porter's windswept home-run...I thought it was a fly-out to 2nd base...

And, oh...that crazy crab...but, here is my favorite Candlestick story...

I decided to take my wife and my 2 nephews to a Giants' game.

I was driving on the exit ramp off the freeway, and I was looking for tickets. I had stopped to ask a few guys, but so far, I had not found what I was looking for.

All the sudden, a cop car pulls up to the passenger side of my car and the cop hollers, "You lookin' for tickets?"

I didn't quite know what to say right then, because I was afraid that he was about to bust me for negotiating with scalpers, or something...

Anyway, I reluctantly answered, "Uhhh...yeah?"

He holds out 4 tickets and says, "Here...I got these."

Now at this point I'm not quite sure what he's up to...so, after a few seconds of deliberation, I respond, "How much do you want?"

He replies, with a rather irritated look on his face, "I'm not selling 'em, I'm giving them to you!"

I reply, "Oh, well in that case...THANKS!"

He drives away, and just as I start to roll my window up, this dude comes walking by and says, "You should give me some money...those were my tickets." I told him, "OK...just wait right there, I'll be right back with your money!"

Anyway, no attempt to hi-jack your thread, StP...I just read these threads and usually just post what's on my mind at the time. Carry-on.
