The oldest, possibly most important baseball cliche is, "The game's not over till the last man is out."  Or as Yogi Berra put it: "The game ain't over till it's over." There is no clock.  Every team gets 27 outs, or nine innings of 3 outs each.  If the game is tied after nine innings, they keep playing till somebody wins.  It is not sudden death overtime, where the first team to score wins.  If the visiting team scores in extra innings, the home team still gets three outs to tie or win.

If yuo're overf 60 and a baseball fan, there's probably nothing I can tell you about Bobby Thompson and "The Shot Heard Round the World" that you haven't heard before, except maybe that Thompson died Tuesday, August 17, 2010.  Younger people might not understand how a single home run -- even one that decided a pennant -- could be heard around the world, and never be forgotten, or change two lives forever, and make them immortal.
