Every now and again, it nearly does, as author Phil Lowry demonstrates. The product of more than four decades of research, this book catalogs baseball games from around the world and throughout history that lasted 20 or more innings, stretched five or more hours, or ended after 1:00 am. Lowry also examines probability models to predict how often games of unusual length will occur.BaseballUnited StatesHistoryBaseballRecordsUnited StatesBaseballHistory.BaseballRecords796.3570973Lowry Philip J1650955MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824291403321Baseball's longest games4000612UNINA
