SAN FRANCISCO — Ted Ginn Jr. carried the game ball to keep for himself, and packed away two more footballs from his game-saving kick returns to present his twins.
Jim Harbaugh didn’t need a single souvenir. Hugs all around would do, from his parents, from his players.
He left Candlestick Park on Sunday with that coveted victory over Pete Carroll and the defending NFC West champions in his NFL debut.

Here’s the deal, Coach Carroll: Harbaugh is one up at this level.
Ginn returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in a minute’s span late in the fourth quarter, and the San Francisco 49ers gave Harbaugh a 33-17 win over Seattle in his much-hyped debut and renewed coaching rivalry with Carroll.
“I slept like a baby last night,” said Harbaugh, a father of two young daughters. “I woke up every hour crying, making sure these guys were prepared in every way. And they had our back. Our players did a heck of a job.”
Especially Ginn, who delivered right when the Seahawks thought the momentum was theirs.
He ran a kickoff back 102 yards moments after the defending NFC West champion Seahawks had closed within 19-17. It was the second-longest kick return at home and fourth-longest in team history. He then scored on a 55-yard punt return.
It was the first time in 49ers history they had a kickoff return and a punt return for touchdowns — let alone by the same player.
