While the San Francisco Giants were victims to a blowout, many have already ruled them out of contention for the finale against the favorable home team Kansas City Royals. 25 years ago, we were granted to a Battle of the Bay World Series, featuring the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants, which saw a preemption from the infamous Loma Prieta earthquake.
ESPN Films recently premiered an episode of their popular 30 for 30 series, which focuses on the unfortunate event that shook up the entire Bay Area following a magnitude 6.9 earthquake. All gameplay was stopped for the next 12 days until the North California areas felt it was safe enough for fans and players to finish the games.
