When I used to go to McCoy stadium in the 1990s, their were signs all over the stadium commemorating the game. They even had the score printed on cups.

There is a great book about this called “Bottom of the 33rd” that really goes into the stories of every person involved in that game to the point where it seems like a nexus event for more than half of baseball

The longest test cricket match lasted 11days and was called off because one team had to catch a boat home
The stadium where this game was played was recently torn down, as the team ownership and city could not come to an agreement regarding tax incentives, and the team moved away.

A test cricket match can last for up to five days and is the longest format of the game, with each team having two innings. Each day consists of about 90 overs and typically lasts for 6-7 hours, including lunch and tea breaks.

I find 1 inning is more than my attention span can handle.

After 33 innings can we really say that anyone really won?

No matter how many videos or articles I've read, I still can't wrap my head around the rules of baseball.
Is there any guide for us non-americans to help us gain enough grasp on the rules to, at least, understand the dynamics of the game?
Learning the basic of (american) football was much easier. I'm not writing any treaties any time soon, but at least I can follow the games and enjoy the "craftsmanship" of the players.

I wonder about all the staff, and whether they got paid for all the overtime.

Please, no one tell Peter Thiel about the 33 innings. He might claim the umpire is the Antichrist.

A 33 inning baseball game seems like the stuff from which nightmares are made.
