1999 wasn't the beginning of the end for the 49ers' storied dynasty. It was an affirmation of the end. With the loss of Steve Young and the continued absence of Garrison Hearst, the San Francisco 49ers discovered that their talent had diminished to the point where success was unsustainable. But as with all of these posts, the end result isn't as important as the journey. See how it all came to be right here:

Welcome to the 1997 edition of the 49ers Year-by-Year. Many probably remember this as the season that Warren Sapp took down Steve Young and Jerry Rice in one game, but the rest of the season was - for the most part - a true triumph for the aging, evolving 49ers franchise. Do you know know what happened the night Jerry Rice returned from his injury? Do you know how many stitches Brent Jones needed in his mouth? Maybe it's time to remember:

A Personal History of the 49ers: Alyn Beals - Part I
by howtheyscored on Sep 24, 2009 8:00 AM PDT
in 49ers Year-by-Year
10 comments
I'm about to share one of the greatest thrills that I have personally had while being associated with this website. To this point, my role as a writer on the site has been primarily to offer insight into the history of the team. At times, even I admit that my work has been rough, but it has given me - and I hope our readers - some wonderful insight into some of the truly great players from the generations before many of us were even aware of football. Joe Montana was drafted a full six years before I was even born, so the thrill of learning about players like Joe Perry, Frankie Albert, Johnny Strzykalski, Visco Grgich, Bob St. Clair, Leo Nomellini, Hugh McElhenny and almost countless others is a real treat that I probably never would have attempted before becoming a part of NinersNation.
For me, and for others, this learning process is thrilling and enriching. Knowing that the 49ers played the first regular season professional football game on the West Coast fills me with a certain team and area pride that I never knew I had. Understanding that the 49ers broke the "Asian color barrier" in sports fills me with even more. For even others, revisiting these early years brings back wonderful memories of going to Kezar to watch a ballgame or watching John Brodie lay another Alley-Oop pass squarely in the arms of R.C. Owens.
But by far the most fulfilling experience I've had thus far has been one that combines my joy in learning about a history that I had no idea existed with another's joy in remembering a time that was among the happiest of his life. Recently, I've had the honor to correspond with the son of one of the 49ers truly great players: Alyn Beals.
If you don't know who Alyn Beals was, I'll gladly paraphrase his grandson when I say that he was Jerry Rice for the 49ers before there was a Jerry Rice. Playing receiver for the 49ers from their inception in 1946 until his retirement in 1951, Beals astounded, amazed and entertained 49ers fans for six wonderful years. Adjusted for era, he put up astonishing numbers in a 49ers uniform, and some of his career totals still rank among the best in team history.
I won't dawdle much longer, I promise. Alyn's son, Alyn, has been kind and gracious enough to share some of his memories of his father from the days before his playing career, touching on his early professional life. In the future, as he has time, we'll get at least one more installment from Alyn regarding his memories of his father's playing days.
Please, enjoy. From here on out, everything you read is in the words of Alyn Beals, son of 49ers great Alyn Beals.

In this installment of the 49ers Year-by-Year, we take a look at the 1996 season. This is another one of those glorious, punishing seasons. From unbridled hope to injury riddled mess to healthy resurrection to devastating playoff loss, the 49ers took fans on quite the roller coaster in 1996. It was a fun season, but it was also excruciating (especially for the battered and beaten Steve Young). And you can read about it here. Enjoy:

49ers Year-by-Year: 1995

After two weeks off for a variety of reasons (most of which involved needing to devote my time to studying for my first test in more than two years), the Year-by-Year makes a triumphant return. 1995 was one of those awesome, sucky seasons. If you love reading about when the team was really, really good, then this one is for you. If, on the other hand, you're a glutton for punishment, then step on up! You'll get both here.
Also, I think that after 49 (!!!) of these things, I finally have the hang of this. Pleas, enjoy reliving the 49ers' 1995 season with me.

49ers Year-by-Year: 1993

in 49ers Year-by-Year

So, after a weeklong vacation and then a week long of ridiculously unreliable access to the internet, I - along with my Year-by-Year series - am back with a vengeance. This week we tackle the 1993 season (you see what I did there?), which was the team's first true season without Joe Montana. After trading him to the Chiefs, the team was all Steve Young's, and the monkey was all up on his back. Surely, he couldn't have a record setting season under the pressure of circumstances like those? Could he? We all know how it ended. But the fun is in the journey.
