Here's a list of things you had time to do during Game 3 of the World Series
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox started Game 3 of the World Series in the year 400 BC, and sweet Jesus it's still not over.
(Update: Oh my god it's finally done after 18 innings. Dodgers win 3-2.)
Here’s a list of things you could have done in the span of this baseball game.
Watch 2/3 of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Run an average marathon time.
Get the recommended amount of sleep for an adult.
Cook a 20-pound turkey.
Literally fly from Los Angeles to Boston.
The game was 7 hours and 20 minutes long, ending at 12:30 a.m. in Los Angeles and way past last call in Boston. It was officially the longest game in World Series history by innings and time. It was also the longest game in MLB postseason history. Baseball is wonderful and terrible.
