After the game, I drove past Hayward field and up onto Skyline Blvd which is where Steve Prefontaine wrecked his car and died back in 1975. The rock that his car hit is now called Pre's Rock and there is a small memorial there where people come to pay their respects and leave small mementos and messages. A lot of runners who win a medal in a race will go to Pre's rock and leave their medals there. The city comes by periodically and removes them but more things show up every day. I get goosebumps when I visit that place; as an 8 yr old I attended the track meet at Hayward that Pre ran in a few hours before his death and I remember that day very clearly.
