The Longest Baseball Game
Karin and I went to see the Padres versus the Diamondbacks this Sunday afternoon, and it turned out to be the longest baseball game I’ve ever seen in person. The Padres went though their entire pitching lineup, even calling up an unrested Chad Gaudin to pitch the 16th and 17th innings. Shortstop Josh Wilson was forced to pitch the 18th inning, and he was doing a pretty solid job, but the game was eventually put away by the D-Backs with a three run homer in the 18th.
This game turned out to be the longest game of the season (so far).
Here’s a stitch pic I took from our seats just prior to the first pitch. Click to embiggin:
After six hours of fresh air and sunshine I’m simply beat. Tomorrow I’ll be running Mt. Woodson, then I’ll be replacing the panel overlay for my MAME arcade machine that got lost in our house purchase/move last year, so I better get some rest.
