According to the Giants jacket that looked at the AT & T Park, more typically Bennett moved hearts with her tune, "left my heart in San Francisco", who sang on the field after the first inning. title="">In addition to emphasizing various sporting events during the final, marking Giants win at home, that song was invoked by the singer in the reopening of the Bay Bridge one month and one day after the earthquake of October 17, 1989, Loma Prieta - that occurred during Game 3 of World Series that year between the Giants and Oakland Athletics - left a 50-foot section of the bridge rolled, killing one person on the bridge and 57 people in total.
Enjoy Bennett, 84, singing the unofficial national anthem of the United States, over, and revisit the Loma Prieta earthquake Viewpoint Candlestick Park in the video below. The quake hit just before the 4:40 mark, the Giants played their last game at Candlestick in September 1999.
