Special Notes: In the mid-to-late 1970s, Tom McRann produced a number of pre-game and halftime shows for the San Francisco 49ers football team featuring local Bay Area players. For the holiday game on December 23, 1979 when the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Chicago Bears, Tom arranged with Wham-O to provide specially stamped Fastback Frisbees to be thrown into the crowd. They were produced in red and green with gold greetings and the image of a 49er helmet.
