The 19 inning game and Loyalty

Can't believe I am writing two posts about baseball in a row, and about fans from two teams opposite to each other across the bay and with almost opposite behavior! I'm talking about the Giants and the A's. The latter played against the Anaheim Angels on Monday night. I was busy watching other stuff late at night and realized I didn't find out who won. It was midnight and I'm surprised the game was still going on, in extra inning. Another 1.5 hr passed by. I was almost done with the video I was watching and about to go to sleep. Checked the result again. OMG it was still tied! Finally the game ended ~1:45am. The A's have just played the longest game, a 6.5 hr one, in team history! I listened to the highlights while I was in bed. What a great game! The A's trailed the Angels 2-7 in middle of the 8th. I definitely won't blame the fans for leaving at that point. But they scored 4 in the bottom of the 8th and 1 more in the 9th (down to their last out. Cespedes hit a long single to the outfield for the RBI) to tie! Both team scored again in the 15th (again, the A's were down to the last out and tied) Brandon Moss hit a 2-run walk-off homer to win the game for the A's in the 19th inning. The sports talk radio show host talked about this game, of course, and he estimated around 1000 or less fans stayed till the end to support their team. Those fans were as loyal as you can get. (They and the Giants fan who left in the 7th inning around 3pm in the afternoon in a tied game were beyond comparable)
