The official propaganda has a different take. Today's anniversary is not about championships but publicity stunts. Northern California's team since 1974. On this day in #Quakes74 history, 6,256 Quakes fans broke a @GWR for the largest participatory groundbreaking of our home! #VamosSJ pic.twitter.com/JP5MiTiqGn— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) October 21, 2019
I was actually at the game, bought a ticket on a whim weeks before the Quakes had booked their ticket to the game. A great moment.
Unfortunately, we couldn't make the game (three kids under the age of 8 at the time). Great memories from Califfs bad dye job to DeRo funky chicken (or whatever it was) goal celebration.
