On this day in 1989, I was listening to The World Series pre-game show on the English radio station in Mexico City. The signal disappeared and the the announcer came back saying that an earthquake had hit the area.
It turned out to be a bad one. I remember watching the TV scenes later that night.
The series was anti-climatic and the A's swept the Giants. We recall that moment when the signal went off the air and wondered what had happened in the Bay Area.
