Title: OFFICIAL PROGRAM. San Francisco GIANTS vs. Oakland ATHLETICS. 1989 World Series
Description: Fort Lee, NJ: Sports Minded, 1989. Red, white & blue wrappers. 94, [2] pp. Center scorecard present, and unused. Profusely illustrated from photographs, both color & b/w. 10-7/8" x 8". Some damping evidence [bit of 'waviness'] to the lower 1" of the last half of the program, otherwise in VG - VG+ condition. This Bay-Bridge series interrupted by the Loma Prieta earthquake, October 17, 1989. I was on a highway, heading home. What a day. IAE, despite the interruption, Oakland swept the series and the Giants wouldn't return to the fall classic until 2002, when, in Game 6, in the bottom of the 7th, 8 outs from winning the series, Dusty Baker [literally] took the ball from Russ Ortiz [and gave it to him as he walked off the mound!!], and the Angels came back to win that one. And the next one. And the Series. :(.
