Believe it or not, Game 3 has its own distinct time slot that messes with your evening. Because it’s in a different city, the start time is often earlier than Games 1 and 2. Think 7:00 PM local instead of 8:00 PM. This means you’ll be eating dinner while a guy throws a 100-mph fastball past a $30 million superstar.
And here’s a party trick fact: The earliest World Series Game 3 ever started was in 1987, at 4:30 PM local, because the Twins played in the Metrodome, which had a giant air conditioning issue. Players almost passed out from heat stroke. Baseball is ridiculous. I love it.
