Not really. Baseball makes me anxious like this too. I've turned off games like "God dammit plesse let me check in a few minutes and we won."
Oh trust me. I’m the same way and football has the same damn effect on me. Basketball too in big tight games. My stomach will be in knots and I’ll be rocking back-and-forth but I just can’t look away.

Kennedy - pouring concrete on the third floor of a new bank in French Quarter. 9/11 - Watching a tv in the conference room at a staff meeting. Morris - watching with about 20 family members of the den in a condo in Pensacola Beach, same place that I watched us beat Bama for the CWS championship the Gorrila Ball season

Was at work as a young 25 year old and couldn’t stand it. Said I was sick and went home to watch the game in me and my new wife’s 500 square foot apartment alone! When it happened I took a victory lap down lee drive! ( I know smart)

I was a wee little lad listening on my brothers truck radio as we moved our furniture into a house that we had just finished building...I still have a scar (now very faint) where the ceiling fan blade that was running wide open caught my knuckle when I jumped up in reaction to the call.

My younger brother had a little league championship, or at least play-off game that day. Even though I went to all of his games religiously, if I didn't have one myself, I decided to stay at the house and watch the game that day with my dad. I vividly remember as soon as Morris put a bat to the ball,I was screaming "get down! get down!" just praying the line drive would drop in fair and tie the game before the RF was able to snag it for the last out. Cut to the angle on TV showing the outfield and seeing the path of the ball continuing "way back there, that's way back there!" HOME RUN! TIGERS WIN! Although of course , I was hearing the call of Nantz on CBS. And while I'm certainly glad I made the right call to stay home and watch it, I can't help but envy my brother when he tells his version of this magical moment in LSU folklore. Evidently, he, and pretty much everyone else at the park that day were gathered around their cars listening to Hawthorne make the call. Regardless, it will be a moment to cherish for a lifetime either way!

Watching it with my dad at home. That was a few months before I started LSU

I was in a shipyard. Over the summers, I worked in a shipyard to pay for school. The lady in the tool shed had this little TV she'd watch her stories on during the day. Since it was Saturday and there were no stories, she had the game on the TV and had put it so guys could walk by and check up on the game.
The entire fab shop was gathered around that TV by the bottom of the ninth. The leaderman was threatening to fire us all if we didn't get back to work. We didn't get back to work and we ignored his arse once that ball sailed over the fence. We finally quit cheering and went back to work.
He wrote the entire fab shop up. All that happened is that at the next safety meeting, management reminded us that the client wasn't paying us to watch baseball and then in the next breath congratulated the Tigers. That leaderman was so pissed.
frick that leaderman. Also, the poor sons of bitches out in the construction yard didn't have a tool room to watch the game in or a roof to keep the sun off of them. They had to roast while they listened to it on the radio.
Did I mention that leaderman can get fricked? I hated that guy. He's probably dead by now.

We were having a pool party at my house that day. Everyone was outside except for me, sitting shirtless on the couch with my purple, black, and turquoise Nautica swimsuit on. Someone would pop in ever so often to tell me to come on outside and start grilling. When he hit it, I just sat there in disbelief, then jumped up yelling as I saw Cora lying face down at short and reality set in. I spent the rest of the day getting blackout drunk.

I just returned home from my sons little league baseball game. I turned on the game and it was the bottom of the 7th inning. If I recall correctly, LSU scored runs in the seventh, eighth, and ninth to come from behind and win the game. Best 3 innings of baseball ever!

In the middle of a wedding ceremony to my first x-wife. Should have just stayed home and watch the game instead of costing getting married and costing me half.

I was there. It was a good day.

At home with my parents watching alone in another room from them. When he hit it I thought “double tie game” and ran to the other room to see the celebration! Great times

Was on a field exercise at Ft. Bliss so I couldn't watch. Heard the result on the radio later that evening.

I had walked out of a camp I was at and when one guy came running out yelling we won I told him he was full of shite.

I was watching the game while laying tile in my living room in South Florida. When Warren hit the HR, I started jumping up and down like a little kid. Jumped on a few tiles that had to be reset. I didn’t give a shite. The bragging rights were worth any damage I might have caused.
