The 33-inning baseball game

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe clubhouses are out of food and nobody can go home!

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat can't be real. Baseball doesn't have a fire pit.

3. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt started at eight twenty-five p.m., after a half-hour delay because of problems with the stadium lights!

4. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd it was so cold that players burned broken bats and the stadium's wooden benches to keep warm!

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThey burned the benches? I once waited forty minutes at a drive-through and I still kept my seat.

6. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTwo future Hall of Famers are out there, Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken Jr., and they still cannot end it! It goes thirty-two innings!

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThirty-two?

8. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThey finally stop it at four-oh-seven a.m., and nineteen fans are still in the seats! Every one of them gets a season or lifetime pass!

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNo way. Nobody stays for that. I would have stayed, but still, no way.

10. 

    Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd the thirty-third inning waits two months! Pawtucket wins it three to two on June twenty-third!

11. 

    Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat was nineteen eighty-one, McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and the record books call it the longest professional game ever, eight hours and twenty-five minutes of play, per Wikipedia.

12. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWell, that's one way to make sure your fans stick around! At least they got something for their troubles.

13. 

    Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorChip, that was the prize. Lifetime tickets to more of the same.
