#FarewellCandlestick: The 100 Greatest Moments in Candlestick Park History #39

#40 is here.

#39 June 15, 1963 34 Years


Going to the bottom of the 8th, San Francisco and Houston had combined for a total of 1 hit, a Williw Mays first inning single.

Neither team had placed a runner in scoring position.

In the 8th, doubles by Jim Davenport and, with two out, Chuck Hiller scored the only run the Giants would need - Juan Marichal beat Houston 1-0.

It was the first no-hitter the Giants had thrown in 34 years, since Carl Hubbell in 1929.

Marichal allowed only two walks and struck out five.

#38 is tomorrow.

#41 is here.

#40 January 1, 1989 Bill's Last Win





A year before, one of the great Niners teams of all time got blown out in the first round of the playoffs by the Vikings.

Not this year.  In what would be Bill Walsh's last ever Candlestick win, Jerry Rice scored three first half touchdowns, Roger Craig added two in the 4th quarter, and the Niners began their third Super Bowl playoff run with a 34-9 win over the Vikings.

The Niners had 6 sacks; Ronnie Lott had two picks - a week later the Niners went into Soldier Field, beat the Bears, and went on to win the Super Bowl.

#39 is tomorrow.

The Giants rolled the Expos 10-1; Gaylord Perry homered (he had 6 homers in 22 seasons) and threw a complete game 4 hitter.
