1992 San Francisco Giants Ground Rules at Candlestick Park
The 1992 page detailing the ground rules for the San Francisco Giants at Candlestick Park provides specific conditions under which various play scenarios are handled during games. The Giants, with their inaugural game played on April 8, 1969, play at Candlestick Park, which opened on April 12, 1960. Key rules include that a ball hitting either foul pole or the attached screen above the black ring results in a home run. If a ball strikes the black ring or bounces off the fence into play, the batter is awarded two bases. Additionally, if a ball rolls behind the backstop screen, the offense receives one base unless thrown by the pitcher, which then grants two bases for other overthrows. A home run is also awarded if a ball goes over the fence under the attached screen.
