Whether it’s the New York Mets or the Kansas City Royals, the winner of the World Series will have its first championship in three decades.

Strictly going off the first act, we can deduce two things: It may take another three decades for this series to crown a winner, and getting there is going to be a hell of a ride.

Game 1 began Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. It wasn’t decided until early Wednesday morning, when Eric Hosmer strode to the plate in the bottom of the 14th inning and lifted a bases-loaded sacrifice fly that scored Alcides Escobar. That gave the Royals a 5-4 win and put an end to a game that lasted over five hours and innings-wise, tied for the longest game in World Series history.

It was also one of the wildest games in World Series history.
