You are also trying to keep people watching the game as well in the era of the remote control. I was at a game Retrosheet Boxscore: Tampa Bay Rays 10, New York Mets 6
four years ago that featured an in game Jerry Crawford injury replacement plus a separate rain delay that went 3:55 without the rain delay. It is hard to keep eyeballs on the TV set when you have players standing on the field for 15 minutes looking at the sky.

Wait, never mind.
