It took two seconds to realize that we either installed a water bed in the middle of the night or we were having a tumbler. 4:32 a.m., Monday, January 17, 1994.

We were about 80 miles from the epicenter of the San Francisco 7.1 jolt in '89. Now that was a rumbler and the most exciting opening World Series game we've ever seen. L.A. has had its fun in the last year! Riots, fires, rains, earthquakes. Johnny Carson shoulda never beat on Bakersfield like he did!
