Go Giants!
GO GIANTS - San Francisco Watercolor by Watercolor Artist Dale Perkins
A suggestion --- we can personalize the scoreboard for your special event! Go Giants!!!
My first San Francisco Giant's Game (Go Giants!) was the hottest day of the year. I had just purchased new shoes. I had already walked form 23rd and Mission to (at the time), Candlestick Stadium. I walked from our coke bottle seats (seen in the watercolor painting) to where the painting was made (where the TV's are now). The painting was a rewarding outcome but the blister from my walk to the stadium was a bummer. I presented "Go Giants" to the San Francisco Giant's ownership hoping they would see value - and they actually kept it for three weeks and then came back to me, telling me that they would love to have it but contract complications made it too difficult - no so home run (deal) for me. The good news is that an avid San Francisco Giant's fan who worked for San Mateo County (The Board of Supervisors) purchased the original.
I have fond memories of the San Francisco Giants - Willie McCovey lived up the street from us in Burlingame and my kids were at Willy's home getting a signed photograph every time a relative came to visit us (poor Willy). And Willie Mays lived close to us in Hillsborough as well..
Candlestick (the Stick) is almost always cold and windy with the fog rolling in, and requiring blankets and jackets --- the memories I retain of the Giants at Candlestick Park are as crisp as today.
