We used to go every Patriots Day (in "a previous life", as you said ). That's the day the Boston Marathon is run. The Sox play at 11 am and the game is supposed to get out around the time the Marathon is finishing. But with longer game times and shorter marathon times, it doesn't work out that way much anymore.

It's a great day - unfortunately, my high school was just south of the CT-Mass border, so I never got the day off in high school.

A roommate of mine in college, however, was from the Boston area. We skipped classes the past two years to watch the game - always a fun time, even if it's only on ESPN.
