Not my idea of fun!

I'd take the game, any day, but Paul would agree with you! And no, I wouldn't eat the hot dogs or the funnel cake, but would enjoy the camaraderie and the baseball game itself.

As a part of my job responsibilities I sometimes have to come up with an outing for a work group. You have no idea how difficult it is to find something everyone will enjoy. You can never win. As often as not it is an event I would just as soon forgo but I do it because it is what most of the group wants to do and provides a good time for them.

I feel for you boss...who thought he was doing something special...who was "nearly bursting at the seams with excitement." I have been there and know the killjoy when someone says they would rather have a root canal.

I hope he can at least expense the tickets so he isn't out personally. I suspect he will think a long time before he does something like this again.

Uhmmm... could you go, and leave half-way through the game, or is transportation being provided? Can you have someone call you on your cell phone a couple of hours after the game starts-- so you have an excuse to leave? You have to be somewhere very early the next day? If you do end up working I hope the office will be very quiet while everyone is gone.

I am SO glad I am not the only one who feels this way! My siblings and parents LOVE baseballs games - especially YANKEE games. I HATE going to Yankee Stadium, it's not worth the money and it is NEVER fun for me. Not to mention, Yankee Stadium is the biggest over-rated rip off ever. I just don't like sitting and watching games, I just find them so boring. The food is the best part in my book I agree, I'd choose work probably.
