Talk:Extra innings

message: Gosh, how quickly facts get skewed; in this case, just a typo, but anyone checking up on this online will find the article on Fox stating "Boston Red Sox against Brooklyn in 1914" but Baseball Almanac page on the 1914 WS doesn't list a 14-inning game; this San Francisco Giants page gives the correct year.

thread_title: Longest World Series game

message: "The longest game by innings in Major League Baseball was a 1-1 tie in the National League between the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers in 26 innings, at Braves Field in Boston on May 1, 1920. It had become too dark to see the ball (fields did not have lights yet and the sun was setting), and the game was considered a draw. Remarkably, by modern standards, the game time was only 3 hours and 50 minutes. The game had started at 3:00 p.m., as was the custom in those days, and it was approaching 10:00 p.m. the next day when the game ended. Home plate umpire Barry McCormick decided to call the game when he observed lights appearing in the windows of buildings across the Charles River."
It looks as if a sentence got dropped in here.  The 1920 game beginning at 3 p.m. and running short of four hours wouldn't have extended to 10 p.m. nor to the next day. WHPratt (talk) 18:43, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You are certainly right. The nonsensical edit was one of four made by 70.171.67.104 on June 16; the first three were reverted by Mikehillman the following day, but this one was overlooked until you caught it. Now corrected. JudahH (talk) 07:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  This must be wrong ... 

message: The article makes to incompatible statements: "On April 15, 1968, the Houston Astros defeated the Mets 1-0 in a 24-inning game at the Houston Astrodome. The 6-hour, 6-min. contest, which ended with the Astros' Bob Aspromonte hitting a grounder through the legs of Mets shortstop Al Weis in the bottom of the 24th, remains the longest shutout game in Major League history" AND "The longest scoreless period within a completed game came on August 1, 1918, when the Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Braves remained scoreless through 20 innings before the Pirates scored two runs in the top of the 21st and held on for the 2-0 victory." If the final score of the Astros/Mets game was 1-0 after 24 innings, then the game would have been scoreless for 23 innings, which is longer than the 20 innings of the Pirates/Braves game.
Shouldn't the statement about the Pirates/Braves game be deleted or at least qualified?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BradGad (talk • contribs) 21:52, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
