1992
The San Francisco Giants announce that the team has been sold to a group of Tampa Bay investors for a reported $110 million and the team will move to St. Petersburg for the 1993 season. Other owners will block the move in November, but the announcement causes the 1992 season finale to become the first sellout at Candlestick Park since the 1989 World Series.
