So that's what history looks like.
Monday night's/Tuesday morning's 18-inning marathon Game 3 between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers is going to hold a special place in World Series lore.
As the two sides battled it out at Dodger Stadium, the contest made more and more history with every passing inning and hour.
Not only was the game tied for the longest in World Series history by innings played, but both the Dodgers and Blue Jays churned through most of their 26-man rosters, adding to the drama of L.A.'s win.
Dodger Stadium also played host to the other 18-inning game in World Series history. The Dodgers outlasted the Boston Red Sox on Oct. 26, 2018, getting a walk-off solo homer from Max Muncy in the 18th to come away with a 3-2 win that took 7:20 to complete.
The Blue Jays used every player on their bench Monday, and the only three pitchers on their roster who didn't take to the mound in the game were starters Shane Bieber, Trey Yesavage and Kevin Gausman.
On the Dodgers side, manager Dave Roberts didn't call upon Justin Dean, Hyeseong Kim or Ben Rortvedt to enter the game on the position-player side. But like Toronto, Los Angeles had only starters left on its pitching roster, with Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto staying out of action.
The Dodgers, of course, came away with the win on Freddie Freeman's walk-off home run and got a hefty dose of history from Shohei Ohtani's two-homer, two-double and five-walk performance, adding to the significance of the evening.
