Born in Salinas, CA .... spent 2 years in Turlock,CA going to college and then moved to Oregon (Eugene) due to death in wife's family and inheriting 2 (very rotten) teenagers - long story and none of it by design - but hey - life is like that. Huge SF Giants fan - as my grandfather took me to a game every year (62-66) before he died - and then i went each year on my own (in his memory) until i went off to college in Cal-State Stanislaus in '70. Saw some really great players back then - but best game ever was the Spahn-Maricial 16 inning marathon. And dang - it was cold that night. 1-0 - both pitchers a complete game. Wonder what the pitch count was?
