This has to be one of the weirdest linescores in the history of baseball:

R H E
Detroit 0 0 1 1 4 1 0 4 1 0 0 0 2 - 14 22 2
Cleveland 1 4 3 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 12 19 4
You spend nine innings knocking each other all over the park, racking up a ridiculous 12 runs apiece. Then you play four extras, and it takes an RBI groundout and an error to scratch out the two needed to win.

At one point, a heads-up cameraman spotted a scoreboard anomaly: the score was 12-12 in the 12th inning at 12:12 AM (Eastern Time). I laughed, partly out of humor, partly out of exhaustion.

As FSN Detroit color commentator Rod Allen stated when it was finally over (after a mere 5 hours, 33 minutes):
"When you stay around this long, you may as well win the game."

can't make this shit up, television, baseball, tigers, quotes
