Didn't the Mariners set the record against the Orioles about than 10 years ago?

I remember they went 4 hours 27 minutes, or something close to this.

Not surprising Boston and New York now hold the record.

And involved two good ballclubs.

favorite thing out of that box score is how

Seaver went 10IP, allowed just 2 hits, 0bb and 3k, and he was shown up by Jim Ray, who came on in relief to pitch 7 innings with 2 hit, 1bb, and 11k
