PEANUTS AND CRACKER JACK

Candlestick Park, as it appeared on opening day in April of 1960
So it was recently announced that when the 49ers play their final game in 2013 (or possibly 2014), the rundown Candlestick Park will be imploded, and replaced with exactly what San Francisco needs:

another shopping mall.

(sigh)

Anyway, SFGate ran a little piece this morning about the long-shot possibility of having the San Francisco Giants play one more game at The 'Stick, for old time's sake.

As an unashamed sentimental old fool, let me just say this is an idea that I'm totally down with. After all, the stadium was originally built for them, and having seen a few games there back in the day, it might be fun to spend of few more hours out there with a couple of hot dogs, a couple of beers, and say goodbye to a stadium that people just loved to hate.
