The baseball game that would never end.
The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers just kept on playing in World Series Game 3.
The longest World Series game ever went 18 innings in 2018. Could this one go longer?
No, there’s no innings limit on a baseball game.
Baseball can be played forever. If no one scored a run, the game would never end.
Usually, someone scores.
As the game goes along, the pitching gets worse, making it easier to score runs. That’s just how it works – teams burn through their bullpens and start using guys who weren’t supposed to pitch in high-leverage situations.
Sometimes, one hitter just runs into one and hits a home run that makes the difference.
But there are no ties in baseball – especially not in the World Series – and there are no early endings.
Could MLB step in if the game got to the 25th inning and postpone it until the next day? That might be possible, although it’d be unprecedented. The league has never had to make that call before.
But otherwise, the game goes until someone has more runs at the end of an inning than the other team. Until then, keep playing ball.
