The Giants have lined up quite a number of pregame ceremonies for Friday's Game 3.
Via MLB.com's Alyson Footer, the bill of fare for those in attendance at AT&T Park this evening:
The 5 living Giants legends who are in HOF - Cepeda, Marichal, Mays, McCovey, Perry – will be recognized before the start of WS Game 3.
— Alyson Footer (@alysonfooter) October 24, 2014 That sounds pretty cool. Hope they show that instead of cutting back to the studio or hyping "Gotham" again.
MLB will honor late HOFer Tony Gwynn in a special pre-game ceremony. Tony’s wife, Alicia, and other family members, will be here.
— Alyson Footer (@alysonfooter) October 24, 2014 That's correcting an oversight from back at the All-Star Game. Better late than never.
There will be a special moment to remember the 25th anniversary of the earthquake that struck San Francisco during the 1989 World Series...
— Alyson Footer (@alysonfooter) October 24, 2014 Appropriately sensitive given the human tragedy involved there. We should also remember that Major League Baseball did the right thing and postponed the World Series at that time. Sometimes they do get it right the first time. That was a decision by Fay Vincent, the last semi-independent commissioner.
The 2 managers, Roger Craig/Tony LaRussa, will deliver game ball to mound w/Shenali Nand, 16, from Mid-Peninsula Boys & Girls Club/San Mateo
— Alyson Footer (@alysonfooter) October 24, 2014 That's great. La Russa is still a presence in the game, but Craig keeps a low profile. It's a shame because he had a wonderful career as a player, coach, and manager and he would be a font of great stories were he inclined to tell them.
The Giants have selected fan Frank Burke to throw ceremonial 1st pitch. Burke caught Ishikawa’s NL pennant-winning home run in NLCS Game 5.
— Alyson Footer (@alysonfooter) October 24, 2014 This seems like an act of hubris, like being too casual with the apple of discord. I mean, the Gods give you a gift, you don't just toss it back. (In general, if the Gods want to give you a gift your best bet is to run like hell. Failing that, cherish the thing.) If the Giants don't win, you know why: It was the wrath of Zeus or the vanity of Hera or something. Expect a revival of the Eleusinian Mysteries in the aftermath, assuming San Francisco isn't hosting that kind of thing already.
