Meanwhile, the Giants, with Perry starting on the mound, and Los Angeles Dodgers had just begun their game at Candlestick Park. The action was interrupted when the public address announcer asked the crowd to give a moment of silent thanks to the astronauts who just made history by landing on the moon.
