"Gonna watch the Super Bowl with my dad, just as I got to watch the NFC title game with him. He made me a Niner fan when I was a kid, and took me to my first game at 8 years old."
I so totally relate to that. Enjoy the moment. I was about 8, in Bakersfield, when I was introduced to the Niners on the radio; Tittle, Perry, Mac, John Henry Johnson, Leo da Lion, vs Norm Van Broklin, Tank Younger, Deacon Dan Towler, Tom Fears and da Rams.
"Who do we want?"
"We're from San Francisco."
Took me to my first game for my bar mitzvah. Took my brother to his second for his. Dad had an aunt and uncle who lived a few blocks from Kezar, so we had easy parking.
My first game..
November 2, 1957: A 41-yard scoring reception on a Tittle Alley-Oop pass where R.C. out-jumped Lions' defenders Jack Christiansen and Jim David to give the 49ers a 35-31 victory with 0:11 second remaining. (Kezar Stadium)
