John Shea is the San Francisco Chronicle's national baseball writer and columnist. He is in his 33rd year covering baseball, including 28 in the Bay Area. He wrote three baseball books, including Rickey Henderson's biography ("Confessions of a Thief") and "Magic by the Bay," an account of the 1989 World Series. John is a longtime West Coast-based baseball writer who covered the Oakland A s for two decades with The (Hayward) Daily Review and the Oakland Tribune. He headed north in 2000 to cover the Mariners for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, starting on the day Ken Griffey Jr. was traded to Cincinnati. He is a longtime baseball correspondent for the Tokyo Chunichi Press. A member of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) for two-plus decades, Hickey is a Hall of Fame voter. When he s not covering baseball, he has written about pro football, college sports, tennis, golf and winter sports. The 1989 baseball season was one for the ages. Especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the two major-league teams found themselves pitted against each other in the 86th World Series. Never before had the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants gone all the way simultaneously. The 1989 season was different altogether, in several ways. In the Bay area there were highs: Kevin Mitchell's 47 home runs; Will Clark's .333 batting average; Scott Garrelt's league-leading 2.28 ERA; Dave Stewart's 21 wins; Carney Lansford's .336 batting average; Rickey Henderson's 52 steals, and Dave Dravecky's comeback. Game Three of the World Series was postponed due to the great Northern California earthquake. Clearly, this was not a season one could describe as "no great shakes".
