NEW YORK (AP) — Tony Bennett, the eminent and timeless stylist whose
devotion to classic American songs and knack for creating new standards
such as "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" graced a decadeslong career that
brought him admirers from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga, died Friday. He was
96, just two weeks short of his birthday.

SAN FRANCISCO — The home opener San Francisco almost never saw became a home opener unlike any baseball has ever seen here Monday.
Three members of the Grateful Dead, who rehearsed the lyrics to make sure they got it right, sang the national anthem without a hitch. Tony Bennett belted out “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” and he got it right, too.

Then Barry Bonds, in his first home at-bat since getting a $43.75-million contract from the ownership group that kept the Giants in San Francisco, made the whole day right for the crowd of 56,689 by driving a 2-and-1 pitch by Chris Hammond of the Florida Marlins over the newly constructed wall at Candlestick Park for a home run during the second inning.

The Giants won the game, 4-3, in 11 innings, on a run-scoring single by Darren Lewis.
