GUY RAZ, host: Last night, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, vendors stopped selling beer during the seventh inning, during the baseball game between the Cardinals and the Mets. It's what they normally do.</s>GUY RAZ, host: Now, at that point, the game was still tied zero-zero, and it stayed that way through the ninth inning and the 10th and the 12th and the 15th, then the 18th, until finally, the Mets ended it.</s>Unidentified Announcer: And the ballgame is over. The Mets win it, it's 20 innings by the score of two-to-one in six hours, 53 minutes.</s>GUY RAZ, host: It was one of the longest games in Major League Baseball history: 18 scoreless innings. Cards fan Mike Hogan(ph) stayed until the end last night, long after most of Busch Stadium cleared out.</s>Mr. MIKE HOGAN: This was not only the longest game I've ever been to in person, it's the longest event I ever watched on TV or paid any attention to. We were there virtually a workday. We got to the park about 2 o'clock, and we left a little after 10:00. It was quite a day.</s>GUY RAZ, host: That's Cardinals fan Mike Hogan, who waited it out nearly seven hours last night to watch his team lose to the Mets.
The Mets beat the Cardinals 2-1 Saturday night in an epic 20-inning game. Lasting almost seven hours, it was the Mets' longest game in 36 years. Host Guy Raz talks to one baseball fan who managed to sit through the whole thing.
