PLUS THREE

FROM PATRICK

Great sportswriter moments at San Francisco's Candlestick Park:

Jan. 9, 1988: Sid Hartman chugging through the press box, shouting, "Go Reggie,'' on Reggie Rutland's interception return for a touchdown in a Vikings playoff victory over the 49ers.

Jan. 1, 1989: Sid resting the top of his PortaBubble computer near a heating vent and having it melt into shape of a V.

Oct. 17, 1989: Me suggesting to St. Paul's Tom Powers that the stadium was vibrating because of a jumbo jet flying overhead. Incorrect.
