Making a personal memory of this epic moment in San Francisco Giants history, I actually had to play in a Sunday night “Halloween Party” gig for my school. I had moved from California to Chicagoland, lived next door to, and across the hall from a few Tigers fans. My gig finished around the sixth inning of the game and sprinted across campus back to my dorm to pull up and watch those final three innings.
Matt Cain didn’t have his best stuff that night. He gave up a couple home-runs but hung on through seven innings, keeping it tied.
