#34 December 17, 2000 Jerry Rice Day
It turned out to be an even more rare day when Terrell Owens broke a 50 year old record for most receptions in a game, 20, adding 283 yards and a score in the 49ers 17-0 win over the Bears.

#34 December 17, 2000 Jerry Rice Day
Jerry Rice Day at Candlestick - a rare occasion for any player, a day not intended to celebrate Rice's last NFL game, just his last game as a 49er.
It turned out to be an even more rare day when Terrell Owens broke a 50 year old record for most receptions in a game, 20, adding 283 yards and a score in the 49ers 17-0 win over the Bears.

#35 September 24, 1993 The Last Real Race
Down 4 a week before in baseball's last ever pennant race, the Giants closed their deficit to 1.5 by beating the Padres with an extra inning Will Clark walk off home run.
In the 8th, the Giants tied the score after Robby Thompson was in the head by Trevor Hoffman (ending his season) and a pinch running Mike Benjamin scored on a Matt Williams sac fly. The Padres put two on with no one out on the 10th, but Rod Beck got out of the inning - leading to Clark's 2 out walk off homer in the bottom, in what turned out to be his last great Candlestick moment.

#36 December 15, 1997 Simply the Best
Joe Montana returned to Candlestick for the first time since being traded to the Chiefs; his number retired at halftime of a Monday night game against the Broncos.
The Niners were 12-2, with the top ranked defense in the NFL. Denver was 11-3, on their way to a Super Bowl Championship.
Jerry Rice returned from a torn ACL after only three and a half months to play in this game - scoring in the second quarter with the Niners down 10-0, injuring himself on the play which caused him to miss the rest of the season.
John Elway, as was his legacy for much of his career, completely collapsed in the moment, 16-41, 150 yards, 2 interceptions with one returned for a score (Merton Hanks, Kevin Greene also returned a fumble for a touchdown).
The Niners won 34-17, finishing the season with a perfect record for the first time in Candlestick history.

#37 April 12, 1993 Candlestick Lives
For about two decades the Giants had threatened to move - but after the '92 season, they were gone; sold to a group in Tampa that somehow would involve Tommy Lasorda.
And then they weren't - not only were the Giants rescued, but opened up their 1993 season with baseball's best player, a Giant legacy no less, in left field.
What did Barry Bonds do in his first Candlestick At Bat as a Giant? Homered, of course, and the Giants went on to beat the Marlins 4-3 on an 11th inning Darren Lewis single.
