In 1993 the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres once played a double header that was plagued by rain delays. The first game started at 4:45pm but because of multiple lengthy rain delays the first game didn't end until after midnight. Game 2 started at 1:28am the following morning and didn't end until 4:40am as the game went into extra innings.

[@jonathanfeldheim6554]

Mitch Williams with the game-winning RBI!

[@WaltGekko]

@@jonathanfeldheim6554 I remember watching that when it happened.

[@WaltGekko]

I remember that as I saw large chunks of that doubleheader, including the entire second game live to the end at 4:40 AM Eastern Time. That second game was actually supposed to be the regional game of the FIRST half of the ESPN Friday night baseball doubleheader. Instead, after watching the Yankees-A's on ESPN (main second game of that doubleheader) where I was, for those of us able to, we watched that infamous second game of this doubleheader, which is on KZbin. This doubleheader started at 4:30 PM locally, had several lengthy rain delays and the first game did not end until almost 1:00 AM Eastern time. It cleared by the time the second game started with no rain delays. Luckily for the Padres and Phillies, they were scheduled to be the Sunday night game on ESPN that week, so they didn't have to worry about a day game on Sunday. Also, after that game, MLB implemented a rule the second half of a doubleheader can not start after Midnight local time.

[@jonathanfeldheim6554]

@@WaltGekko I don’t know if it’s still the rule but at the time the rule was the umpires had the right to call the game but the home team had the right to decide whether to start the next game. So that first game would’ve never been completed if they hadnt had to play a second game because the Phillies lost three in a row at the time and told the umps there’s no way we’re not starting the second game. Maybe it’s because I was 14 but that ‘93 Phillies was full pf crazy wins/games like that

[@Eazy-A_2005]

Well yea, it was a Raiders game what else would you expect

[@BSJinx]

The Atlanta Braves played a rain-delayed, 19-inning game on July 4, 1985. The game ended at 3:55 AM, the latest finish in the history of Major League Baseball. And that's when the fireworks started... literally. Rather than give out rain checks for the postgame fireworks display, the Braves decided to set them off right after the game anyway. At 4:01 AM. Neighbors panicked and swarmed the Atlanta PD with calls claiming they were being bombed.

[@robsmith961]

I wish the NFL would have spontaneous prime time games that are out of the ordinary. Personally, I hate MNF these days and TNF seems pointless, so I wish the NFL would scrap one of those packages. Then I think it would be intriguing to have a small handful of Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Monday night or Thursday night games if the NFL actually did scrap those packages. To me it would be exciting having a Tuesday night special or a Monday night special just two or three times a year because it would be a shakeup (if a team played a Tuesday or Wednesday night game, then they would get a bye for the next week). I know this would never happen, especially the NFL dumping an already existing primetime package.

[@robertkeefer1552]

In 1989 the 49ers played the Patriots at Stanford University because of the earthquake.

[@b1galbos89]

The 49ers also had to swap home games with the Saints because the Giants were using Candlestick for the 1989 NLCS against the Cubs. Good thing the Saints and 49ers were in the same division back then. That situation likely would have gotten hairier if they weren't both in the NFC West.

[@tonytwodat6986]

We can’t make unfair advantages by making changes… Mean while in 2020: 12 players get Covid gotta move the game from noon Sunday to 5pm Tuesday

[@hanschristopherson8056]

The Steelers and ravens played on Wednesday last year I’m pretty sure

[@WaltGekko]

@@hanschristopherson8056 Yes they did. And the Steelers blamed losing both their bye week and mini-bye through no fault of their own for their collapsing late.

[@TheSjuris]

@@WaltGekko the NFL could have just canceled the games instead then the team could blame that for finishing one half game out and costing the players a game check.

[@CTubeMan]

In 1987 the 49ers and Falcons had to switch home dates in what was then a divisional series due to the Giants winning the NL West. This resulted in the 49ers playing their final three games at home. In 1989 the Giants won the NL West again, forcing a switch of home dates with the Saints. This resulted in the 49ers having four straight home games between weeks 9-12. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about a similar baseball/football conflict in Baltimore in 1970 and its unusual resolution. You also made two videos about how Raiders fans on the Eastern time zones would have been affected by potential repeats of the “Heidi Game”.

[@MNsportsnut]

And in 1991, Falcons & 49ers had to switch home dates with the Braves in the NLCS.

[@PYLrulz1984]

Then there’s the Jets-Mets situation in the late 60’s-early 70’s when the Mets were good. If the Mets had a playoff run going, and the Jets had a home game during it, even if it wasn’t on a day the Mets were playing, the Jets had to play on the road. And if it was against a team outside their division, they were losing a home game instead of switching home and road games if it fell on a game they played a divisional opponent.

[@michaelschneider9141]

This is why I love living on the west coast. Football starting when you wake up at 10 and going until around 8 PM. Still leaves time to do homework or whatever I have to do.

[@drpete0616]

The Oakland Coliseum was so run down you should just spike the football on every play.

[@altfactor]

At least both teams were in the Pacific time zone so game time was 8:35 P.M. PDT, with the game ending shortly after 11:30 P.M. PDT.

[@roshango125ab]

Something funny about this game is the TV graphics. The scoreboard uses the NFLN scoreboard bottom bar, but uses the down and distance graphic on the field is the one CBS uses. You can see hints of station change. It was likely the CBS crew and equipment that was already in there, just a different network broadcasting it.

[@timelymirror7826]

back then when nfl network still had exclusive rights to Thursday games

[@drewzuhosky6826]

This was scheduled to have been an _NFL on CBS_ doubleheader game had it not been moved out of its originally-scheduled kickoff time.

[@joetorres632]

The other issue with playing at cal is that after the 74 game the city of Berkeley passed some strict parking rules . Due to the issues of the lack of parking at memorial stadium.

[@marcus813]

Also, Cal couldn't host an NFL game if it wanted to.

I remember working the coliseum for the oakland as playoffs game before this. If i remember correctly it was the game charles woodson came back and had a clutch pick

[@vdubproductions2646]

He had a fumble six recovery in that game. DJ Hayden had the interception the sealed the game.

[@CrimsonKobaNakirigumi]

I remember watching this game for a completely different reason. It was broadcasted in the NFL Network, which had Spanish commentary in my country. Games in the NFL Network were usually called by an ESPN analyst who was really good, but because this game was so late they had to find someone else. They got some dude who didn't even had a name, just a nickname. He was alone and had no idea wtf he was watching. To this date I still don't know who he was but it has been the worst called game I've ever watched, shit was unbearable not only because he was completely ignorant of the game but he was shouting and joking like he was in a comedic radio show. It was a peculiar experience.

[@johnmanier7968]

There was at least one game with a later start-although it also could be deemed the earliest start. On Saturday, October 23, 1971, the Bills played at San Diego in a game that started at 9 pm Pacific Time and midnight Eastern Time. I’m not sure why that game wasn’t on Sunday afternoon, but the extra-late Saturday start time was to enable the game to be televised live on local TV in Buffalo, to avoid prohibitions on televising NFL games conflicting with local NCAA football games. Since games were shorter back then, the 1971 Buffalo-SD game might have finished earlier than SD-Oakland in 2013.

[@WaltGekko]

I suspect it was played on Saturday night because Saturday night games drew higher attendance than Sunday games, and those days TV was not a factor in the home market. The Buccaneers on occasion would play Saturday night games in those days for the same reason as I remember.

[@brooksfire9580]

Interesting about that game. There was a 9 yard field goal and a 10 yard field goal kicked by the Chargers. Those are impossible in today's NFL. The shortest FG in normal kicking formation today is 18 yards.

[@WaltGekko]

@@brooksfire9580 I think it was changed because in 1973, there was a case of a kicker missing an 8-yard field goal that hit the crossbar on it's way UP.

[@jt8696.]

Can you elaborate why games where longer back then? Was it because they ran the ball alot more?

[@cjs121675]

I actually watched this game as I am already a night owl and love late night college football on the west coast so this was a no brainer for me! I remember watching this game and wishing there were late night west coast games like this more often because I love night games- just seems something fun about playing under the lights to me. Though this was not the latest game I ever saw- one of the latest I ever saw was a college game between Tulsa and Oklahoma State delayed by storms that did not start I think til after 1230am ET!

[@mgb4692]

In 2019 Cal and UW played til almost 2:15 *PT* because of a big ass lightning storm in Seattle, there was even talk (though not much) of moving Hawks/Bengals

[@methinksilikecake]

This happens every week for European fans. The late game finishes at about 4AM Monday morning in Ireland. An absolute nightmare.

[@BBall0027]

Another precedent for starts this late applies to college football due to the University of Hawaii being five hours behind New York and two hours behind LA, which, in combination with Hawaii not recognizing daylight savings time, results in 6 PM HST games during September and October starting at midnight EDT.

I've watched NFL games at around 3am, but those were preseason games played in Japan, still kind of neat though. I remember this game because I worked 2nd shift at the time so I didn't have to be at work until 3pm Monday (East coast time), so I always stayed up late on Sunday night. A couple buddies of mine are HUGE Raider fans and that game was originally going to be shown here locally. Knowing that I had the Sunday ticket and the NFL Network, they ended up coming over to my place to watch the game. So here we all are cooking out and drinking at midnight on a Sunday night!!!!

1) If this does happen again, it would be under different circumstances nobody would see coming. Considering the reason for that one is no longer an issue. 2) Curious. What could be considered worse? A game between two west coast teams that start at 8:30PM or the possibility of west coast teams playing away games at 6:30AM? That is, if the NFL gets a wish of theirs done and puts an NFL team in London and all.

Me clicks on this: Probably a weather delay. Video length: 17 minutes

[@Lilo-bc9wz]

I remember this game but there was also a game that was at 7/10 pm and it lasted until like 2/5 am I was like damn and people were like asleep or getting sleepy cuz the game dragged out past its original end time

[@jfwfreo]

I don't get why the option of moving it to Tuesday wasn't taken, it would have been much better for TV broadcast (in that it would be at a time that most people could actually watch it) and probably still been OK for fans going to the game as well. I guess the reason why they didn't do it was that it would have left the teams with smaller gap between that game and whatever the next game they were playing would have been and the players said NO to that.

[@theknightswhosay]

Also they would have had only 5 days before the next game so they probably didn’t want that.

[@juliansmith4352]

The Atlanta Braves had this scenario but Game 4 of the national league championship series in 1991was there while the falcons vs 49ers was moved to San Francisco and the November 3rd meeting was moved to Atlanta

[@leogetz3570]

It's interesting you pointed out the parking lot conflict with the Warriors. Didn't that same thing happen to the Ravens at the beginning of the 2013 season? They had to open the season on the road as SB champs because of a parking lot conflict with the Orioles. Or have you already done a video on that?

[@christophermoore7665]

For some reason this happened to me on Madden in the playoffs started at like 11:05 idk why though and I think it will happen again due to possible storms

[@theknightswhosay]

As someone who lives on the west coast and is physically incapable of going to bed early, I miss the first half of the noon games and the entirety of the london games. It’s kind of misleading to say it started at 11:35 unless it was played on the East coast.

[@kyledamron]

I miss Oakland a lot but the need for a stadium was huge

[@connorkeohane2884]

Bro the OG NFL on CBS intro is so good

[@jacktorrance2633]

Really wish my Saints called Philip this year. He said he was waiting for the call!!

[@dennisrenton9436]

This is “PAC-12 After Dark” almost every weekend

[@mikemoore5263]

In college I always like it when they put a random Hawaii game at midnight on TV, lol football at 3:30am... why not!

[@leogetz3570]

oh man, ESPN 2 late night Saturday games!!!

[@travisshanahan7458]

You know what there is no reason why CBS can’t show this game at 11:35pm after the local news

[@d0nKsTaH]

Its not been done before that I recall... But they could have broadcast this game a second time at a proper time slot for the East coast.. and possibly gave that replay to NBC

[@e93sports80]

Happy Friday

[@sirstewartwallace3917]

On the viewership numbers: you have to keep in mind market size. A game between teams that can draw San Francisco and Los Angeles in addition to Oakland and San Diego is almost always going to have more interest than one that draws St. Louis and Pittsburgh, even if same channel has fewer subscriptions.

[@marcus813]

San Francisco and Oakland are in the same DMA/TV market along with San Jose, so they can count as one and the same in this case.

[@stevengrvp]

i miss those days now we have to hope one day the jets /giants or rams and chargers get to the afc/nfc championship game

[@RichV20]

Jets/Giants both hosting a Conference Championship game in the same year might not happen in my lifetime.

[@stevengrvp]

@@RichV20 rams chargers are closer to it

[@Staceyatkinson4496]

That's not a problem jag, in the UK we have superbowl every year on TV and game starts at 1130 and finishes at about 330am, so that's nothing

[@ibn1989]

I went to sleep on this game, but I really wanted to watch it. I was upset that I did that lol.

[@SM-en7vp]

I went to a Yankees@Tigers game that started at 11:06 after a rain delay. Of course then it went into extra innings and ended with a walkoff at 3:30am!

[@ajk]

I remember that. Carlos Guillen won it as I recall. Great memory, miss those awesome Tiger teams of that period. They were a huge part of my late teens/early to mid 20's. Shame they never won a World Series title though.

[@WaltGekko]

Yeah, I remember listening to the finish of that game live.

[@ajk]

@@WaltGekko Dickerson and Price on the call? To this day two of the best in the biz as a team IMO.

[@WaltGekko]

@@ajk I was listening to the Yankees call.

[@JJCanucks]

It's almost like there's other time zones other than EST

[@giantsfan1925]

Off topic, but Demaryius Thomas is dead.

[@thebrotasticbro9465]

Yup 😟

[@Outrageousconduct]

I routinely watch College football games that start 11pm 1130 and midnight when Hawaii is home so it wasn't a problem for me either

[@KWCline91]

In 1986, the Giants hosted Washington on Monday Night Football on the same night the Mets won Game 7 of the World Series that season. It’s possible to have two sporting events go on at the same time at home.

[@johnmanier7968]

But not in the same stadium.

[@Backpackfiles]

Not even the same state. Mets- Queens, NY Giants- East Rutherford, NJ

[@americangiant1003]

Not to mention that game 7 of the 1986 World Series that the Mets won was I think the most watched(or close to)in MLB History. While that MNF Giants vs Washington got the lowest ratings in it's history. Maybe someone here can post the exact numbers.

[@stevenbauer4799]

Yes it can. Lions have played home games the same time as tigers right next door.

[@troyturner173]

Right, but that was because Game 7 was rescheduled due to a rainout

[@birdmantd]

Consider this a small consolation prize to West Coast fans. As someone who lives in the Eastern Time Zone all my life I'm spoiled with the start times. If I moved to the West Coast and NFL Sunday started at 10 am I don't think I could ever get used to that.

[@stevenmiller175]

I’ve lived on the west coast my entire life and I can tell you 10 AM starts are the best. I would go crazy waiting until 1:00 for the first kickoff.

[@Bakanga]

@@stevenmiller175 trust me I do to living here in east coast
