After dutifully sitting through the entire 9-1 win by Arizona over Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium, I got to see the exquisite sight of the Diamondbacks leaving 16 runners on base and the Dodgers leaving 9.

The DBacks set a team record for runners left on base in a nine-inning game, which had been 15, last done on July 28, 2005.

The 25 total runners left on base broke another Arizona record, which was previously 24 back on May 21, 2002.

Arizona left the bases loaded three times (9), left two on twice (13), and left one person on three times (16). Joe Beimel of the Dodgers pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to spoil the fun.

The NL record for most runners left on in a nine-inning game is 18 and has been done several times, most recently by the Braves against Dodgers on June 23, 1986. The New York Yankees left 20 runners on base on September 21, 1956, a game the Yankees lost to the Red Sox at Fenway, 13-7.  There were a lot of hits in that game.

16 runners left on base?! That's a normal game for the Oakland A's unfortunately...

I didn't have to go to work early today either.

It was very easy to get home.

Yoga-style baseball; a lot of pitching from the stretch.
