Here's everything you need to know about last night's epic baseball game at Citizens Bank Park: Wilson Valdez was the winning pitcher.
Carlos Ruiz was at third base. Placido Polanco was at second.
The Phils played 19 innings before finally prevailing, 5-4, over the Reds.
The game, which started at 7:05, ended after 2 a.m. It took 6 hours, 11 minutes to play. Raul Ibanez hit a long fly to center that scored the winning run at 1:19 a.m.
Amazingly, the place was still rocking as Valdez put down the Reds in the top of the 19th inning to get the win. Chants of 'Let's go, Wilson,' could be heard in the raucous stadium.
The first Reds batter to stand in against Valdez? That would be Joey Votto, the reigning NL MVP. Charlie Manuel had already used eight other pitchers.
Fans got to see the longest game ever played at Citizens Bank Park.
And here's the kicker. They have to be right back there for a Businessperson's Special at 1:05 this afternoon.
