Ferris Bueller ditched school on June 5, 1985

Yesterday was "Truck Day"in Boston

There’s also the Fight Club Theory of Ferris Bueller, which says that Ferris Bueller doesn’t really exist and he’s just a manifestation of everything Cameron wishes he could do / wishes he was.

Which is sort of a fanboy theory as to how a kid that’s home sick for a day gets his name on the water tower and such… that it’s all in Cameron’s fever-addled head.

So according to the story, the score was actually 2-2 at the time of the audio clip.

But we still don’t know who was winning.

I thought I saw Claudell Washington out there. Maybe they need to update his IMDb entry.

Omar Little:

Yes, and when people make an effort to match up movies to real-life events, it’s funny to suggest they do so with an event that could not possibly have happened. Or so I thought.

Nice! That has to be close to my graduation day from high school. Maybe Ferris and I skipped school on the same day!

Now I have to go back and check when graduation day was somehow…

Was Claudell ever on the Cubs? I know that in old Comiskey Park when he was on the White Sox they hung a banner out in the outfield stands once that said, “Washington Slept Here.” :smiley:

And see this: Claudell Washington - Wikipedia

The neat thing about links is that you can click on them. And when you click on them, a different website appears, usually offering interesting facts about the person in question.

He was playing for the Braves at the time.

If you pay close attention, you can tell that Marty went back in time on October 26, 1985

Gee thanks Mr. Munch! :rolleyes: The fact of the matter is that I knew Washington had never played for the Cubs, even without clicking on the link. It was a rhetorical question so I could refer to the Washington Slept Here joke, which you apparently missed. So there.
