How long does the average baseball game last or how many innings total?

Answer 1

The average Baseball game last about 2½ to 3 hours. Most games are regular 9 inning games. It's not rare, but is still seldom to find a game that ends before the 9th inning. It is somewhat common, however, to see a game last longer than 9 innings.

Answer 2

Since football games are timed and baseball isn't it is difficult to say. There is also other things to consider, the tv commercial breaks and baseball players stopping every pitch to adjust themselves or spit. Football games are too long but then again I remember baseball games only lasting 2 hours in the 70's now they are scheduled for 3 hours and they last longer. It appears that you do not favor the longer games. To shorten the games perhaps reduce the constant stoppages in both sports and stop the instant replay, keep the human factor and eliminate the replays. Noone probably cares how many cameras or how many angles a network has. again, human factor.
