So, what time did the World Series end last night? Look it up. I dare you. It’s probably a random, ugly number like 10:42 PM. Or 12:09 AM. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you were there for the question. It’s the mystery of time that makes baseball special. It’s a sport that laughs at your schedule.
Next time someone asks you this, don’t just give a number. Tell them about the rain. The nachos. The guy who fell asleep in the eighth inning. Tell them the World Series doesn’t “end.” It just stops. Usually between 10 PM and 2 AM. And that’s the funniest part of all.
Now go grab a hot dog. The game might be over. But the conversation is just getting started.
