 HOUSTON (AP) - Roger Clemens and the Houston Astros gave a whole new meaning to the word "longevity." The 43-year-old Rocket came out of the bullpen to rescue the Astros and Chris Burke ended the longest postseason game in baseball history with a home run in the 18th inning, lifting Houston over the Atlanta Braves 7-6 Sunday and into the NL championship series.
"I'm sure proud of the guys," Clemens said. "It's been a lot of work for us. How 'bout the kid?"
Standing next to Clemens, the 25-year-old Burke was beaming.
