July 4 was always a big deal for us, because my dad and sister were both born on that date. So every July 4 was a big mega-birthday extravaganza, where we'd be out at my aunt's house until the wee hours of the morning. Being nine, I didn't usually make it that far, so I watched the game in and out of dozing on the couch. Don't specifically remember making it to the 19th inning, but I definitely remember watching it very late.
