ALT To whom it may concern: Please excuse (your name) from (insert activity) this (Wed/Thurs/Fri). Let’s call it a “personal day,” because their close, personal friends - the (insert team) - are celebrating 2026 Opening Day and (your name)’s support is integral to both team morale and success. Since we understand (your name) is kind of like the (your player comparison) in your neck of the woods and missing them for even a day could be devastating, we invite you to join us in Opening Day festivities! Fire up MLB.TV on the screens, maybe a little pop-up hot dog stand for lunch? Cotton candy for an afternoon energy boost? Just spitballing here. Anyway, (your name) will be back (pick a day, don’t be greedy). Happy Opening Day! Sincerely, Major League Baseball
