- How long is the season?
- How can you afford to go to so many games (or get the time to...they're upwards of 4 hours long!)?
We actually get a televised baseball game here in the UK on Channel 5 every Monday...but it's 12-1am start in the morning till about 4-5am
That's all for now

Televised games are usually 3 hours long (provided they don't go to extra innings) so they can get all their commercials in and other highlights.
Going to a live game it's not nearly as long, again depending on extra innings. Of course some games are very long, as an example if it's high scoring with lots of hits, walks, etc.
On Avg though, a game is usually about 2 hours. That's just a rough gestimate of course.
