Coach, I pulled a hammy

Rockies vs. Padres last night, 6 and a half hour long MLB game, 22 innings! Yes, 22. They only scored 3 runs. You know some guys were thinking of ways to get home early...

That got me wondering, and the longest MLB game ever was on May 1, 1920 between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston Braves, 26 innings. The game went so long they had to call it because it got too dark.

Most definitely could have used this at the ballpark...

Right right, if I'm not mistaken, I think they just continue the game the next day in the States. Or that might have been in the old times. Maybe it's just keep on playing until someone wins, bummy.
