In 1986, the Baltimore Orioles set a nine-game time record in a monster win against the New York Yankees.

By the time the June 8, 1986 games was over, the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees were on the field for four hours and 19 minutes. The Orioles defeated the Yanks by a blow out of 18-9.

The record no longer stands, but at the time, that nine-game inning included some eye-popping stats.
