Candlestick memory: Caroline Hickson

From Flickr user Kimberly Brown-Azzarello.
Danny Kaye

As a child in the 60’s, Caroline Hickson rode the bus with a friend all the way to Candlestick Park to watch Giants baseball games.

HICKSON: Those were the days when they were in the run-up to the pennant that we got to go a lot. We went a lot in the summertime. They won the pennant, I think, in '62. And so, that whole run-up with the famous song about the Giants and the Dodgers that Danny Kaye sang, that was all very familiar.
