How long does a baseball game last, and who are the most successful MLB team?
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL are hoping to replicate their American brothers in NFL and NBA by bringing the sport to London.
New York Yankees face Boston Red Sox in the first ever MLB series in Europe - but how long does the game actually last?
How long is a baseball match?
Unlike a lot of sports, baseball is not measured by time - instead by innings.
Each inning consists of both teams batting and also pitching.
The offence team, or batters, have to score points either by running around the four bases or hitting a home run (out of the field) - but their turn ends when they lose three players.
A game lasts nine innings, unless it is all tied and they play extra until a winner is decided.
If you want to put a time length on it, baseball games take around three hours to complete.
