Pujols Walkoff Ends 19-Inning Red Sox vs. Angels Baseball Marathon

Six hours and thirty one minutes after it started, Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols finally put an end to it.

On the 558th pitch of the Boston Red Sox/Angels game, Pujols hit a walk-off home run to send everyone in Anaheim, CA home happy.

Well, okay, at least the Angels fans.

Though we should mention while it technically ended the game, the marathon didn't end until the replay challenge by Boston manager John Farrell was squashed. Farrell claimed the ball was interfered with by a fan. But you can pretty clearly see it bounced off the top of the right centerfield wall.

For those of us on the East Coast, the game ended some time after 3 a.m...

ICYMI: 19 Inning A's/Angels Game Ends on Walk-Off

If you have to finish a 6-hour baseball game, well, what better way to finish it than with a 2-run, walk-off home run.

That's what happened early this morning when Brandon Moss of the Oakland A's hit the aforementioned home run, leading the A's to a 10-8, 19 inning win over the Los Angeles Angels.

The game finished at 1:41 a.m Pacific Time, or 4:41 a.m to those on the East Coast.

Rather than engage in hyperbole, let's just show you the game winner (Thanks MLB.com)
