 HOUSTON (AP) - For those who fell asleep or simply weren't watching, you missed one whale of a World Series game. By far the longest in history — and one of the best, too. Phil Garner threw a stool in the dugout. Ozzie Guillen called in eight relievers. And backup infielder Geoff Blum became a star in Chicago with one unlikely swing in the 14th.
Inning after inning, the tension increased as the White Sox and Astros played on. Tuesday night turned into Wednesday morning, but still nobody could break through. Players grew frustrated, tired, hungry.
When it was finally over, after 5 hours, 41 minutes and a record 43 players, Chicago was one win from a sweep and its first championship since 1917.
