There was a new pitcher nearly every inning, and long commercial breaks. I was told that of the first 33 outs (that's through 5 1/2 innings), 23 were strikeouts. That's why the game took so long, even though the players were truly "all stars".
My old high school coach used to say, "If you're striking everybody out you're throwing too many pitches." Such was definitely the case in this game! But the memories...walking around the field with nearly a century of ghosts...
