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. 606 $aBaseball$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBaseball$xRecords$zUnited States 615 0$aBaseball$xHistory. 615 0$aBaseball$xRecords 676 $a796.3570973 700 $aLowry$b Philip J$01650955 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824291403321 996 $aBaseball's longest games$94000612 997 $aUNINA
