It took almost 5 hours, which is a long time
We're in Year 20 of interleague play, which means we're in Year 20 of the Giants and A's playing each other between 4 and 6 times every year in a matchup that we should all care about deeply, we guess. But way back in Year 3, in 1999, the Giants and A's played a game in the last year that professional bsaeball was played at Candlestick Park, and it went 15 innings, and everyone was tired at the end of it. Let's take a look back!
The Giants came into the game shorthanded, with Barry Bonds having been on the DL with bone spurs in his elbow for almost two months, and Jeff Kent, resting because of a minor foot injury.
