Nice one. That reminds me of an old colleague (since deceased) and friend, who skipped school in April 1946 with a friend to watch Jackie Robinson debut with the Montreal Royals. They were 12 at the time and got busted because the Montreal Gazette put a picture of them in the sports section.

The same guy saw Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 WS.

RIP Maurice. Salut mon ami.
