The day of the quake, I had been looking forward to going to World Series Game 3 at Candlestick Park. . . . just before the game was to start, I was looking out towards the Sony Jumbotron and suddenly I felt like there was movement under my feet and the stadium seemed to move in a circular direction . . .
I told my dad, “We need to go, this was a bad one.” He said, “You’re overreacting . . . the game will start any minute.” All this, in spite of the fact that both teams and their families were all down on the field holding onto each other and not at all looking like they were ready to play baseball. I tried telling my dad, “Look, the Jumbotron isn’t even working. . . . There’s no game, Pa.”
