Baseball is considered "timeless" and is unique in not being based on a timer.  Games end after nine innings in professional baseball, no matter how long that takes, or after extra innings until a tie in the number of runs is broken after a full extra inning.

Baseball has been intertwined within American life and culture like no other sport has.  It has given us record-setting heroes, many of which are still talked about over a century later.  It has given rise to movies, songs, books, magazines, and a lexicon of words and phrases which are part of everyday life.  Extremely popular within the United States, Japan, and Latin America, baseball is played everywhere from neighborhood sandlots and city streets to its culmination in a best-of-seven championship World Series between two professional teams of the American and National Leagues of Major League Baseball.
