Longest games you've attended

was this game which I attended last year in Los Angeles. I went with an Angels fan who has never left a game early in his 50+ years of being a baseball fan and a Dodgers fan who had never stayed for a whole game (as is typical of Dodgers fans).

After much arm-twisting and complaining, the Dodgers fan finally persuaded us to leave after the bottom of the 15th. As we were making our way to the exit, Derek Lowe got three quick ground ball outs and we convinced the Dodgers fan to stay for the bottom half of the 16th, since it would be a shame to hear the stadium react to a walk-off win while we were in the parking lot. He reluctantly agreed.

Our very own Ryan Franklin came on to face Ramon Martinez, who promptly deposited his first pitch into the left field bleachers. Game over, man. Time for the long drive back to Bakersfield.

Amazingly, this was the first extra-innings game I've ever attended.

Not the longest game, but the most fun long game I've attended was a random monday nighter against the Marlins during the dog days of the 2000 season. Ankiel started and pitched alright but had to leave after the 5th due to a high pitch count. The game was tied at 1-1 after 8 when the scary green clouds moved in.

My brother and I stuck it out through the 2 hour 14 minute rain delay moving around from section to section as the stadium emptied out. They had the All-Century team video playing on the Jumbotron  for the latter half of the delay (memo to the Cardinals: provide your fans with something to watch during rain delays!).

Most people were gone by the time play resumed (around midnight) and the remaining 1000 or so fans all moved down to the field boxes. The atmosphere was like a high school game - fans could yell stuff that the players and umpires could hear. Every called ball/strike that went against the Cardinals was jeered. Henry Rodriguez was given the "HEN-REEEE" treatment when at the plate. When newly acquired Will Clark stepped into the on deck circle, many fans offered him their support and appreciation.

This went on for 3 innings until J.D. Drew drove in Eric Davis on a base hit to left that Henry Rodriguez didn't field cleanly. 3:36 game + 2:14 delay = 4:50 total (7:10-1:00am).

I don't remember my longest game (no extra innings in my memory), but last year I saw Jamie Moyer pitch a CG SHO in 2 hours.

I was there for the Wednesday nighter, and it was my second longest day at the ballpark.  I went to a doubleheader one time and the second game went like 11 or 12 innings, giving me a 20+ inning day at the ballpark.  That was interesting.

to be at both the Blues' 3OT loss to the Red Wings in the 2nd round of the playoffs (which I think was in 96) and the Rams' 2OT loss to the Carolina Panthers, also in the 2nd round of the playoffs, in 2003....

and that 14 inning game last year when pujols cranked one off of odalis perez.

I went to the 14 inning game where pujols walked off too.  I was kinda sick and wanted to go, but my friend kept saying "we can't leave now, pujols is gonna bat soon" or "We can't leave now, JD is comin up to bat" (He is friends with JD). It was worth it.
I also remember drivin back from KC (in '02 i think) and listening to the cardinals game with my friend on the car ride.  we left KC in the 8th inning and got back to his apartment in columbia in about the 20th inning.  every time he would come up to bat, Al said that Vina was gonna win it for us because he was due (he was like 0-9 in his first 9 at bats).  eventually, 22nd inning or so i think (i should look it up for sure), sure enough, vina wins it for us.  it made the drive fly by.
