Broadway cast version recording
Please note I'm not using this site as a crystal ball or anything like that. But by any chance, might there be Broadway cast version recording of Sister Act (musical)?24.90.204.234 (talk) 06:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * A quick Google search shows that there is a London cast album available. Since the Broadway version only opened on April 20, 2011, a Broadway cast recording is probably still in production.  More information can be found in our article --Thomprod (talk) 15:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

baseball ejection question
If a player is ejected from the game while he is a baserunner (say he argued with the umpire about a balk that did not get called), does he count as an out? Googlemeister (talk) 14:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * No. He may be replaced by a pinch-runner. Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:09, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Not only may be, but must be. With one extremely rare exception: If there is no one left on the bench, then the team would be unable to field a team of 9 players, and would forfeit the game. I've never heard of that happening in professional baseball, but in baseball almost anything is possible. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 15:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If your team is already up to the 16th ejection of the game, perhaps you should have quit a LONG time ago... -- Jayron  32  16:04, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It could be the 25th inning and you might have already used everyone up on the roster for pinch-hitting, pinch-running and relief pitching, without a single ejection. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * At which point, you're entire team is probably tired enough to take the loss and get a good night's sleep... -- Jayron  32  19:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Very long games are sometimes carried into the next day. One game that comes to mind where they did that was one which exceeded 30 innings in AAA, but I don't remember the teams.  Googlemeister (talk) 19:35, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It was This game between the Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings (Orioles). It was 33 innings, and featured several future long-time major leaguers, as well as two future Hall of Famers, Cal Ripkin Jr. and Wade Boggs.  -- Jayron  32  19:59, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Very entertaining article. Comet Tuttle (talk) 21:25, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That game, not surprisingly, ended quickly when they resumed play a couple days later, with everyone rested and refreshed. It doesn't always work that way, though. One night in 1984 the Brewers and the Sox played 17 innings. They resumed the next day and played 8 more innings before finally getting a decision... then they played their regularly-scheduled game. In 1974, the Cardinals and the Mets played a 25-inning game all the way through the evening, finishing in the wee hours. Perhaps the most remarkable was the 26-inning 1-1 tied game of 1920 between the Dodgers and the Braves. The game was called on account of darkness. The game's elapsed time was only 3 hours and 50 minutes... and the starting pitchers both pitched for all 26 innings. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:24, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't remember the Card/Mets game going that late, only until midnight or so. Googlemeister (talk) 19:25, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It was a night game, and it ran 7 hours. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:37, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see you specified the 1974 Cards/Mets 20+ inning game, I was thinking of the one they had last year, or maybe the year before which also was over 20 innings. Googlemeister (talk) 21:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was from last April. It took them nearly as long to play 20 innings as it had to play 25 in the 1974 game. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 06:44, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
