Answer 1

1982 - I was student coach for our High School volleyball team and faked illness during the World Series to watch the Cardinals play the Brewers.

1985 - Missed college classes on consecutive nights because of Ozzie (HR-Game 5) and Jack (HR-Game 6) against the Dodgers in the NLCS. At a wedding reception for Game 6 of the WS. Entire hall gathered around 12" B&W set when Dinkenger blows call and gives KC victory. Not sure if marriage went any better or not. :)

1987 - Dropped out of school for the September pennant race (that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL). Another wedding during Game 7 of WS. What are the odds?

Answer 2

My son and I left work and school early to watch the redsox get their rings in 2005. His excuse note said he had an appointment with David Ortiz and no one questioned it. I grew up when playoff games were in the afternoon and at my school, there was a B/W tv in the auditorium and you could watch the games. That's how I fell in love w/Yaz and the Redsox in 1967. My son has also missed school to go to NYC for a Yankee game-Life should be full of great memories. (as a side note-he is 13 -maintains a 94.8 average and plays 3 sports)

Answer 3

I live in Vegas and i stayed home when the Mets vs Dodgers game one of the national league division series was on. That was a good time, and we won! Yea i usually stay home for games, and the day after the mets lost to the Cardinals i took it real hard and stayed home from school the next day. Hopefully as i age ill get more un-sensative.

Answer 4

I was not feeling good and I just didnt want to go to school. So acted a little dramatic to get out of school and I watched the yankee game with my grandpa.

Answer 5

I have only missed one day of work/school to watch a game and I will never do it again. It was October 2,1978....If you are a Red Sox fan or a Yankee fan, you know what that day was!

Answer 6

one time i faked sick to watch an important yankees game and my mom took my temperature and she walked out of the room and i put the thermometer against my lamp and when she walked in i had it back in my mouth and she believed it. so i stayed home alone for the day by myself. So i did whatever i wanted and that was awsome!!! and i wouldn't be a yankees game without a brooklyn style pizza would it??? So i orded a pizza. and they game it was the pizza. lol = ]

GO YANKEES!!!!

Answer 7

Yes, many times. I remember last year I had to miss the July 4th weekend Red Sox- Yankees series because I was at camp. This year I have tickets for next Saturdays rivalry game but I have to miss it because of camp again!!!

Answer 8

I got last minute tickets to the third game of the World Series last year, so I called in sick to work.

Answer 9

Every year, my dad and I would skip work or school to catch the local minor-league team play a day game. That's one tradition I really miss! He died six years ago. I think I'll go to the next game in memory of him.

Answer 10

I wish. Texas mainly plays their home games at night since it's so hot. But I've stayed up til Almost midnight watching Texas during the school year.
