Congratulations! You are Correct! Question: What interrupted the World Series for 10 days in 1989? Answer: The 1989 World Series, played between the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants is known as the Earthquake Series. On October 17, 1989 just minutes before the start of Game 3, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck the Bay Area causing significant damage to both Oakland and San Francisco. Because of the coincidence of timing, it was the first major earthquake in the United States ever to be broadcast by live television. The game was postponed out of concerns for the safety of everyone in the ballpark as well as the loss of power. The series resumed on October 27 and finished the next day. The October 28 finale set a record for the latest finish to a World Series at the time.
