How Many Innings Was the Longest World Series Game?

Game 3 of the 2018 World Series between the Dodgers and Red Sox is currently in the 13th inning, but Friday's game still isn't the longest Fall Classic contest ever.

That title belongs to 14-inning games in 1916, 2005 and 2015.

In Game 2 of the 1916 World Series, the Boston Red Sox beat the Brooklyn Robins 2–1 on a pinch-hit single by Del Gainer at the bottom of the 14th. That mark was equaled in 2005, when the Chicago White Sox defeated the Houston Astros 7–5 in Game 3. That game was also the longest World Series game in length of time at five hours and 41 minutes.
