FINALLY, A BABE RUTH RECORD FALLS

Sports dot com: baseball is a sport that actually IS inches and it seems that God is in the corner of the White Sox, as a "pitching" series turns into close games. I couldn't stay up for the fourteenth inning last night but it ended when the Astros finally ran out of pitching...... BTW that guy Urebe tried to give the Series away, but failed. I wonder how long the Sox will keep him. Another aside is a useless stat, but interesting nonetheless, that at 5 hours, 41 minutes, it was the longest game by time in Series history. It matched the longest by innings, a Babe Ruth complete game for the Boston Red Sox against Brooklyn in 1914. Ruth pitched 13 innings and gave up just one run, as the Red Sox won 2-1. In all, Ruth's pitching record in World Series games for the Red Sox was a total of 29 2/3 scoreless World Series innings. A meaningless but interesting stat.
