Giants' 1964 23-inning game sounds pretty good in world without sports

Remember those game days where you couldn’t feel your fingers and toes from a late-night ball game? Your eyes would grow heavy and the concessions stand would close, but you stayed -- right? OK, maybe not all of you stayed.

It’s all right if you didn’t.

Still, with how the sports world is at the moment amid the coronavirus pandemic, I would give just about anything to watch a 23-inning game at the tail-end of a double-header. Wouldn’t you?

On May 3, 1964, the Giants played the New York Mets.

The Mets organization is the only team in MLB history to play three games of at least 23 innings, as MLB.
