It’s been nine years now, minus a few months, since the Orioles and Mariners played their bonkers 18-inning game that finally concluded after Taylor Teagarden broke a 2-2 tie. The game ended at nearly 4 o’clock in the morning on the east coast. When I think of the Orioles playing in Seattle, that’s what I’ll always think of - that delirious night, ending with the Orioles tied for first place in the AL East, after the O’s bullpen somehow stitched together 12.2 scoreless innings.
As long as the extra innings ghost runner rule endures, a game like that will almost certainly not happen again.
