Billy the Marlin wore PJs and a fan danced with a bucket as Mets-Marlins went past midnight

Most baseball games are nine innings in length -- but some become much more than that.
Thursday/Friday's Mets-Marlins series finale at Marlins Park was definitely one of the latter, considering it was knotted up 8-8 through 15 innings. So many innings, in fact, that the game stetched past the five-hour mark and prompted Billy the Marlin to put on his pajamas.

Mascots can't stay up all night, you know! They have a lot to do each day.
As for the fans in the stands, some get creative in order to stay alert, such as the young man who fashioned a Marlins-branded popcorn bucket to his head and started dancing in the 12th ... because why not?

By the time it was all said and done, the Mets prevailed, 9-8, on the strength of Travis d'Arnaud's go-ahead homer in the 16th inning. 
Between this, the first truly marathon baseball game of the season, to Giancarlo Stanton's homer heroics and the ongoing saga that is #MarlinsCat, it's been a pretty wild few days in Miami.
