Boy ditched school to catch a Reds game. How The Enquirer blew his cover

Decades before cellphone cameras, jumbotrons and social media receipts, a Northern Kentucky kid learned the hard way that the truth will always come to light. And for him, his lesson came when his truancy was eternalized in newsprint 67 years ago. Steve Saner is an 80-year-old resident of Fort Thomas, who's enjoying a quiet life these days, spending most of his time fishing, hunting, watching sports and spending time with family.

But, in his own words, he was once a "snotty-nosed" young kid who absolutely loved baseball. So much so that in the late 1950s, he'd often ditch school to catch Cincinnati Reds games at the old Crosley Field. "I caught every game I could," Saner said.

The 13-year-old did well to keep this secret from his parents. That was until The Enquirer blew his cover on a day the Pittsburgh Pirates were in town, including all-time great Roberto Clemente. Playing hooky Saner grew up in Bellevue across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.

He was a student at Sacred Heart School − now Holy Trinity − where he and two friends used to distribute milk to classrooms after it was delivered by the milk truck. However, on a warm afternoon April 15, 1959, he and his friends devised a plan to skip school after they finished passing out the milk that day. Their plan worked without a hitch, as Saner and his friends left school, walked over the bridge into Cincinnati and made their way to the West End , where Crosley Field was once located.
