#76 April 12, 1973 McCovey Hits 2 In 1


Why did the Giants need a new stadium?  Fewer than 4,000 paid were in attendance a week into to the season to see Willie McCovey hit two homers in the 4th inning of a win over the Astros.  Four years later, in Cincinnati, he did it again.

#77 November 13, 1994 NFC Championship Preview





The biggest game in sports for a few years in the early Nineties was Niners/Cowboys.  San Francisco lost the previous 2 NFC Title games to Dallas - but in this regular season game previewed what would be a conference title win to come at season's end, beating the Cowboys 21-14. We picked Troy Aikman three times (2 by Merton Hanks) and Jerry Rice caught a 57 yard touchdown pass.

#78 November 13, 1983 Dean Sacks Six



The Niners sacked Dave Wilson 9 times and picked him off twice, a half dozen of those sacks, still a 49ers record and, at that point, an NFL record, went to Fred Dean.  The Niners went to 7-4 in a season where they'd ultimately lose the NFC Championship, beating the Saints here, 27-0.

#79 November 19, 2012 The Kaepernick Era Begins






The 7-2 Bears came to Candlestick on a Monday night to face Colin Kaepernick in his first ever start against a 6-2-1 49er team that would go on to win the NFC.  Kaepernick threw three touchdown passes and Aldon Smith had 5 1/2 sacks, fifth most in NFL history.  The Niners outgained Chicago 249-35 in the first half of an easy 32-7 win.
