Terry Francona's memories of San Francisco skewed by miserable conditions at old Candlestick Park.
Terry Francona says he does not have a lot of fond memories of Candlestick Park.SAN FRANCISCO — The Guardians are back in San Francisco for the first time since July of 2017, but manager just happy the series is being played at Oracle Park rather than its predecessor, old Candlestick Park, which closed after the 1999 season.
“Back then you were not allowed to leave the dugout,” Francona said. “So in the fifth inning I’d try to maybe stand outside and swing for a second. The umpire would be like, ‘You know, can’t do that.’ So you just sit there for eight.” “Like old Yankee Stadium,” Francona said. “Somebody was asking me yesterday, I said it had so much personality, and a little asbestos.”José Ramírez started the final two games of Cleveland’s series against the Angels at designated hitter, collecting four hits, including a home run in eight plate appearances.
Results from the Los Angeles series notwithstanding, Ramírez typically struggles when he is not also playing in the field. In 25 starts at DH this year, he is 16-for-94 with four home runs and just six RBI. In those 25 games, Ramírez is slugging .340 with a .625 OPS.Steven Kwan, who grew up in the Bay Area, is making his first career appearance at the Giants’ home park.
