I can start by saying mine was last year. I worked the NJCAA Regionals. We had 3-man crews, two games a day. In my second game of the day in question, I had the dish. My game ended up going 21 innings, 4 1/2 hours. It was then that I finally accepted reality: as much as I like the look of the Gerry Davis Plate Shoes, they're God-awful heavy! 
My dogs were barking something fierce after that day! |
4 1/2 hours.....that's a long game but not for a 21 inning game. I've had "ugly" 9-inning games go over 3 hours. My longest game was about 4 hours (without rain or other delays) as best I remember.
