Last Night's Game 3 Lasted Longer Than The Entire 1939 World Series

The Dodgers' 3-2 win over the Red Sox last night in Game 3 of the 2018 World Series took longer to play than the entire 1939 World Series.

The Yankees swept four games from the Reds that fall, in games that lasted a combined 7:05. Last night's 18-inning marathon was 7:20.

Game 3 featured the second outfield assist to home in extra-innings of a World Series game (1973, Game 2).

Game 3 saw both teams make an error in the same World Series extra inning for the first time since Game 4 in 1969.
