Okay, so the other day, I was running super late to a baseball game. It got me thinking – how late can you actually get into a baseball game? I decided to put this to the test.
The Experiment Begins
First, I grabbed a ticket for a local game – gotta have a ticket, right? I purposely did other things, making sure I was going to be late on the purpose. I aimed to arrive way after the first pitch.
I showed up at the stadium during the 5th inning. Guess what? No problem at all! The ticket takers were still there, scanned my ticket with a smile, and waved me in.
Pushing the Limits
But I wanted to know the absolute latest. So, at the next game, I went even later. I strolled in during the 7th inning stretch. Still good! I was able to walk up, get my ticket scanned.
The Final Test
I got a ticket to one more game.
The game had already begun, and the final inning had arrived.
I entered during the top of the 9th inning.
I walked to the entrance.
The ticket takers were still there.
My ticket got scanned.
My Findings
- You can get in super late. Seriously.
- The ticket scanners were there even in the 9th inning.
- No one gave me a hard time, even that late in the game.
So, there you have it. Turns out, you can get into a baseball game pretty darn late. While I wouldn’t recommend missing most of the action, it’s good to know you have some flexibility if life happens!
