One more Giants game at Candlestick?

The Giants are big on reunions and might have a chance to throw their biggest reunion party of all.

One more game at Candlestick Park.

For old times' sake. For the kids' sake. For the sake of everyone who grew up watching baseball at the 'Stick and everyone who never got a chance to experience the type of game that only Candlestick could provide, including the beauty of flyballs to dead center that blew foul.

They're imploding the 'Stick after one more 49ers season, so the last football game would be in December or January. For the Giants to play an exhibition there, the old yard would need to be standing until late March 2014, when the Giants play their final spring training tune-ups in the Bay Area.

I called Giants President Larry Baer, who said, "I don't think it's a likely thing to happen. I'm not even sure logistically we could pull it off. They're going to implode it fairly quickly. We wouldn't try to stand in the way of any of that. Having said that, there are some wonderful baseball memories there. At some point, we'd want to find a way with the 49ers to promote it."

Baer said the Giants have had no significant talks with the city. I say start talking. Memo to city officials: You left it up 53 years, you can leave it up another couple of months. No trouble selling 60,000-plus tickets.

Recreating the 'Stick's baseball configuration would be tough with the right-field seats no longer retractable - equipment that moved the seats hasn't been maintained (for obvious reasons), which city folks realized a while back when discussing a possible 50-year anniversary game at the 'Stick.

It would cost a ton to retract the seats, but perhaps it's worth revisiting for a last look at where Willie Mays and the Bondses played, where Juan Marichal pitched 16 innings, where Joe Morgan and Brian Johnson hit their home runs, where Will Clark singled off Mitch Williams and where Willie McCovey and Dave Dravecky made their comebacks.

Not to mention we could experience the beauty of swirling hot dog wrappers one more time.
