- cafard 16y agoI admire his thoroughness.
- coderdude 16y agoFor anyone else who is interested, it was a Wednesday.

- hyperbovine 16y agoSchool's out in June.
- coderdude 16y agoThe movie takes place the week before school is out.
- callmeed 16y agoThis year, Chicago Public Schools get out on June 17th: http://www.cps.edu/Calendar/Key_events/Pages/KeyEvents.aspx http://www.cps.edu/Calendar/Key_events/Pages/KeyEvents.aspx I tried finding their 1985 calendar in Google's cache, but can't seem to find it :)

- mattheww 16y agoActually, Ferris' high school, Glenbrook North High School [1], is scheduled to get out on June 9th this year [2]. School calendars usually follow similar schedules over many years, so it's reasonable to assume that it had a similar schedule in 1985, making the last scheduled day either June 6th or 13th. Plus, snow days invariably cause the school year to go a few days longer.

- jamesbressi 16y agoI will do something very archaic and actually pick up the phone and call the administration office tomorrow to find out when the last day of school was in 1985, as well as double check to make sure that June 5th was: 1. a full day and not a half 2. that seniors in fact had school that day and whether it was full or half.
- jamesbressi 16y agoUPDATE: contacted the school, submitted a form and should have an answer within 24 hours but assume it may be sooner than that :) UPDATE 2: Received contact from a nice woman at the district's Information Technology Office and she informed me that she sent the request to someone who can help at "GBN"...
- alanfalcon 16y agoIf there was a foul bunt with two strikes then he would have struck out and not had a chance to hit that two run home run. Unless that particular rule has been added since 1985.
- tedunangst 16y agoMaybe it was miscalled and not really a bunt? The possibility it was the next batter (considering that some time passed) may be more likely. According to yahoo answers, of all places, the rule has been in place since 1909. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080723181123AAVB9Ba http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080723181123AA...
- edtechdev 16y agoInspired me to dig up details of a Braves game I went to on my 21st birthday. The Braves scored 7 runs in the 9th to tie it. The game ended up going 15 innings for over 4 and a half hours, and needless to say I was pretty drunk and broke by the end of the game: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ATL/ATL199405100.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ATL/ATL199405100.sht... Amazing game, wish I remembered it
