Adios Candlestick

The Beatles gave their final full concert there in 1966.

Barry Hood, age 15, filmed the concert and his film is locked in a vault somewhere and still hasn't received a public viewing.

I saw my first live Major League Baseball game there on a cold and windy night in 1962,  Pete Rose's rookie year.

I saw my first live NFL game there in 1976, a pre-season game, 49ers vs. the Chicago Bears.  A young running back named Walter Payton looked real good that day and would go on to have a decent career in the league.

Goodbye Candlestick.
