#74 November 21, 1988 The '88 Season Is Saved

The Niners were 6-5, had lost two straight, had no clear starter at quarterback and were facing the Super Bowl Champion Redskins on Monday Night.

John Taylor took back a punt 95 yards for a score, Joe Montana threw an 80 yard touchdown pass to Jerry Rice, the Niners won 37-21, then lost only one more game all the way through their third Super Bowl win of the decade.

#75 July 26, 1994 Bonds Steals 300

The 500 homer/500 stolen base club has one member, Barry Bonds.

The 400 homer/400 stolen base club has one member, Barry Bonds.

The 300/300 club is a little bigger than that, but when Bonds stole his 300th base here, there were still only three members (Mays, Dawson, and Bobby Bonds).  A year later, Barry Bonds would hit his 300th homer and join it.

The Giants blasted the Dodgers in this one; Matt Williams, who was on pace to break what was then the single season home run record, hit his 38th in front of 55,000.

#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.
