I almost always do. I don't go to more than a couple of games a year so I don't want to cheat myself.
But I left the Pirates game last night after the 8th with the Buccos up 3-1. It was frickin' freezing out. And then the Astros tied it up in the ninth and it went 16 innings. Glad I wasnt there.
One of the only other times I ever left a game early was at Yankee Stadium, about 20 years ago. That game also was tied in the 9th and went 16 innings. Odd coincidence, lol

I get there early and stay unitl the last out. I always keep a scorecard and it would bug the crap out of me if it wasn't complete.

I NEVER EVER leave a game early. I've been going to 15-20 Mets games a year since I was about 4 years old. Whether they're winning 15-2 or losing 15-2 or the game goes 18 innings, I never ever leave early.
First of all, you never know what can happen. Just like the other night when Damion Easley of all people hit a homerun in the 10th to tie it at 1 after Colorado scored and then the Mets won in the 12th.
Second, If I'm paying my heard earned money to be there, I'm getting my money's worth and staying til the sweet or bitter end.

Absolutely. The only time I've left anything early was last year I left the Pirates' 18 inning May 27 game against the Astros in the 15th. I would have stayed but I had a 3 hour drive ahead of me and the person I was there with insisted on leaving. I was upset, especially after learning how they won.

Depends on the game. If its close, then I'll stay till the end. If its a blowout, I'll leave in the 7th or 8th to beat the traffic.
Ive only walked out of one game early in recent years though, the Indians had just taken a 10-3 lead in the top 8th...
After all, anything can happen and you paid to watch the game, might as well get the moneys worth

You always stay till the end. I was at the Sox game last night and I'd have to think Pittsburgh couldn't have been much colder. Why leave? The Sox were down 6-0 going to the bottom of the 9th but I'm glad I stayed Detroit's bullpen made a game out of it.

I go to over 20 games a year - and the only time I ever leave early is if I go to Wrigley during the day. I park a mile away, and have to be out of my parking spot by 5:00.

I always stay til the end, no matter what the weather is like or what the score is. Even if the game is bad, I'm never bored with it. I go to about 25-30 games a year.

I like to, but it doesn't always work out. Before I had kids, I can recall only leaving early one time, and that was an utter blowout with "my" team getting pummelled.
With kids, well, sometimes you just can't get their attention back on the game.
I love extra innings -- free baseball! Once stayed for an entire 18-inning marathon in Arlington (as did the dear wife, who was early pregnant; I offered to leave, she insisted we stay; who could argue?).

I've probably seen over 500 Cardinal baseball games and have left before the last out was made 1 time.

I stay til the end. I cant imagine paying a few hundred to bring a family, buy food for kids and park to leave 2/3 way through the game.

Well, I always like to stay till the end also. I love watching baseball no matter what the teams are or what the score is. I always like watching a baseball game.
