May 11, "nineteen eighty something". The prominent presence of the Flyers Ron Hextall jersey narrows it down to 1987, 1988, or 1989. Neither of the three possible dates fell on a weekend, yet the kid and his Dad could have attended a day Phillies game during the week because they have those business person's special games occasionally.
On a trivial Philadelphia sports note, May 11, 1989 is the date on which Ron Hextall got revenge against the Montreal Canadians' Chris Chelios at the conclusion of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Would have been interesting if the episode takes place on the very same date. Traffic outside the Vet would be even busier because of the Flyers game, which took place at the Spectrum that night.
Not a bad episode, although I like the Ferris Bueller one better.
