Pre-Bonds 'Stick

The '85 Giants lost 100 games. Next year, they brought up Clark and Thompson, and they actually finished a little over .500.



This was the last SF Giants game my friends and I attended, before Bonds was signed. The '92 Giants were like 20 games under .500. In late August, my friends on the semester system had already started school. This 8/20/92 game was a Thursday afternoon. Trevor Wilson got tagged for 6 runs. Matt Williams hit a homerun, but I couldn't see it. The Giants tried to claw back, but fell, 6-5.

However, I recall this game, not for the action on the field. Rather, two of my friends got into a tussle with each other. Early in the game, Kathleen really really really wanted cotton candy. When the guy selling snacks came by, he did not have cotton candy. Justin, who was sitting closer to the aisle, bought a bunch of snacks, and gave Cracker Jack to Kathleen. But she didn't want Cracker Jack; she wanted cotton candy. Impatient, Kathleen between innings wanted to get up, and go find cotton candy. She just shoved her way past Justin, and they got into a tussle.

As Kathleen squeezed by him, Justin said he wanted to go with her. She told him, "Sit your ass down," but he followed. This game was sparsely attended, but I swear I could feel the other fans watching Kathleen and Justin.

The rest of us looked at each other. We thought that the miffed Kathleen (she was the typical 5'2" skinny nerd girl) would drag Justin into a women's restroom, and beat him up, LOL! Kathleen was gone a while, but eventually got her cotton candy.
