Last time I went to a ball game was when I worked in an office, and the managers were "rewarding" us by taking us to our town's minor league game. I asked if I could just go home early. Nope. Go to the game or stay at work. Most of us were computer programmers/nerds so we had our various books, games, portable devices, cards etc. that we could entertain ourselves with in the stands, but while the managers were cheering, we were audibly groaning when the game went into extra innings.
