#FarewellCandlestick: The 100 Greatest Moments in Candlestick Park History #32

#32 October 11, 1981 The Dynasty Begins



The birth of the 49er dynasty?  How about this 45-14 win over the Cowboys?

The year prior, Dallas hung 59 on San Francisco; the last time the 49ers had played meaningful football games, almost a decade prior, their seasons ended in losses to the Cowboys.

It really changed here, not with the Catch, but in this regular season win over Dallas, Fred Dean's first game as a 49er. Joe Montana threw scores to both Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon; Ronnie Lott took a pick back for a touchdown, the Niners held Danny White to 8 completions for 60 yards and San Francisco throttled America's Team.

#33 April 15, 1977 McCovey Returns

Candlestick legends leave.  Mays, Marichal, Clark, Montana, Rice, Lott - all finished their careers in uniforms that did not say San Francisco.

One came back - after three years away, Willie McCovey returned to Candlestick as the Giants first baseman in this home opener loss to the Dodgers to maybe the longest sustained cheer in park history.

#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.
