We were driving through Jackson, TN and had just passed Pringles Park, which had a sign that said "game tonight", when we broke down on the side of the road.
We got towed to a mechanic, and soon figured out that we would be in Jackson for a couple days. We got a hotel room, and when the lovely wife asked what I wanted to do for dinner I reminded her that there was a game tonight.
The next night we went to another game, and we met a very nice couple who invited us to go as their guests for the next night, as season ticket holders they could evidently bring guest once a season for free.
The next day as it was getting close to game time, and my ever suffering baseball widow wife made reference to going to the game, I said we should go to a movie or something, as she had put up with enough baseball while we had been there. She said it would be rude to back out on the offered tickets, so to the game we went.
The only no hitter I have witnessed in person in the over 500 games I've been to (in 49 major league parks, and 15 'other' parks).
Thanx to the generosity of a nice couple in Jackson, TN and my polite wife.
