When Game 3 of the World Series between the Red Sox and Dodgers entered the 14th inning tied at 2-2, fans were left to wonder whether the game was the longest in World Series history.
It certainly felt like the longest game of all time when it came to innings, especially for fans watching in Boston, and the game exceeded the record held by multiple games, spanning almost 100 years.
14-inning World Series games were played in 1916, 2005 and 2015, with the Red Sox beating the Brooklyn Robins back in Game 2 of the 1916 World Series.

However, Game 3 took the record for the longest when it comes to both innings and time, breaking the 2005 record set at five hours and 41 minutes. With an 18-inning game spanning 7 hours and 20 minutes, Game 3 made history Friday night into Saturday morning.
Game 1 of the 2015 World Series was the most recent installment of a game going at least 14 innings, with the Royals beating the Mets 5-4.
Fun fact: You can fly from Boston to Los Angeles in a shorter amount of time than Game 3 went on.
