Feel better this morning, baseball fans. Of course, you do.

You got an extra hour of sleep.

Technically, you are supposed to “Fall Back” Sunday morning. The World Series, though, turned back the clocks last night to 1966.

Yes, ladies and gentleman, Game 5 was completed in 2 hours, 52 minutes.

It was the first sub 3-hour game in a World Series since Game 3 of the 2010 World Series: a 4-2 victory for Texas over San Francisco. Many thanks from the team at Sherman Report monitoring baseball’s broken stopwatch.

Wasn’t it nice to watch a game that moved at a decent pace? Good solid pitching by Jon Lester and Adam Wainwright and more hits from David “Mr. 700” Ortiz. My favorite part of this series are the relievers on both teams. Terrific young arms.

Lo and behold, the game actually ended around 11 p.m. ET, 10 p.m. for me in the Central time zone. The early finish even sparked some confusion for baseball fans.

And this from Chicago Cubs TV play-by-play man Len Kasper.

Ah yes, nothing can top the precious gift of time. Appreciate it while you can, baseball fans.

It probably will be three years before we see another sub-three hour World Series game.
