I think the only people who like long games are diehards like me who have never been actually involved in the game other than as fans, thus only get to experience it in a once-in-a-lifetime situation.
I was at a 20-inning Phils-Dodgers game in ‘93 when Dykstra doubled home Eisenreich and Morandini for the win. See, if that game hadn’t gone to 20, I never would’ve been able to write a sentence with that beautiful combination of baseball names.
OK, twice-in-a-lifetime. I was also at the Nats’ 18-inning loss to the Giants in game 1 of the 2014 playoffs. It was a cold night in DC.
