Going back to 1969, the team with the most extra-inning games played in a season is, that’s right, you guessed it, your Houston Astros. For many of us, Milo’s call is hard wired into our brain “And the pitch, swinging, lining it to left!, It’s gone!, It’s gone! It’s gone! Chris Burke!!! Holy Toledo, what a way to Finish”. The Astros game featured a Grand Slam by Lance Berkman, a relief win by seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens pitching on two days rest and featured a Milo Hamilton call for the ages. Michael Conforto declines Astros’ 2-year, $30 million offerĪ game that you may be more familiar with was In 2005 when the Stros played a 5 hour and 50-minute contest, and then it was the longest playoff game in MLB history (In the 2014 NLDS, The Giants beat the Nationals in 18 innings, time of 6:23).

You may remember in 1989 the Astros beat the Dodgers in 22 innings in a game that lasted seven hours and fourteen minutes. The game finally concluded at 2:52 a.m. with Bill Doran taking out Mike Scioscia at the plate. The two team were scheduled for a day game that same morning, and some players just slept at the dome.
Through the Astros History, there is no shortage of memorable extra-inning games played. For those of you who rely on TiVo to record your Stros, you may want to extend the record time a couple of hours. History proves in the Astros case, and you never know when the game will finish. The beautiful aspect of baseball is despite all the knowledge you hold, and you never know how the game will finish. Extra-Inning Baseball is in the Astros DNA
