Take Your Kid To The Ball Game Day

Jack Hack?

 

I have a personal rule, no leaving early.
Back in about 1975 my brother and I went to 50 or 60 games over the summer after he came home from the Navy. Then, he gets a job in which he starts at 6 in the morning. We're at a game that is dragging, he wants to go. I said no. He said he'll go out and snooze in the car. I said, fuck it and we left.
In the eighth, there is one of the best baseball fights ever. Joe Ferguson breaks his hand hitting Bill Grief in the head. And we missed it.

 

I tried to explain this to my wife this eveing. A baseball game is like a play. You don't arrive late, and you stay for it all - even when you know the ending.

There are exceptions, though, for personal or family emergencies.

 

This was actually the very subject I was wondering about. How far back in the lower bowl would I need to get in order to score some shade? That's one of the good things about Turner Field (oh how it pains me to type that). The 4th of July game is a 1:10 first pitch and I was debating between that and the Friday night game on the 3rd.
