Few contests in sports, let alone baseball’s pinnacle event, the World Series, have tested endurance, resilience, and history quite like Game 3 of the 2018 Fall Classic. On October 26–27, 2018, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox locked in a marathon that spanned 18 innings and took 7 hours 20 minutes to decide.
It went beyond a battle of mere talent; it became a test of will. Today, it still holds the record for the longest game in World Series history, measured both by innings and duration.
