Troy Tulowitzki's RBI double with two outs in the 22nd inning scored Willy Taveras and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 2-1 in the longest game in the majors in nearly 15 years, a 6-hour, 16-minute marathon that ended at 1:21 a.m. Friday. It was the longest game since Aug. 31, 1993, when Minnesota beat Cleveland 5-4 in 22 innings.

That would be a cool game to say you were at for the whole thing. I think I sat through at least one Dbacks game that lasted 16 innings once.
