Corrected entry: Jim Morris' first big league game, a 7:30 p.m. start, was in Arlington, Texas. His fan club - his former high school ballers - scheduled a 2 p.m. meeting time (to go watch in the game) in Big Lake, Texas. The players arrived at the ballpark's upper deck just before the bottom of the first. Big Lake is a 7-hour, 19-minute drive from Arlington. There is no way the people could have left Big Lake shortly after 2 p.m., driven to the stadium, parked, bought tickets, entered the stadium and climbed to the upper level by about 7:45 p.m., which is approximately when the bottom of the first would have began.

Correction: Mapquest says it is 336.62 mile from Big Lake to Arlington with a travel time of 6.2 hours. That makes an average speed of 53.62 mph. Drop the time to 5.75 hours and the average speed only jumps 5mph to 58.54mph. I'm pretty sure they could break the law and speed all the way there; 165.1 miles of the trip is on the interstate.
