A tie is a baseball game that ends in a tie score. Such games were more common in the early days of Major League Baseball, when darkness would halt games on occasion. After the introduction of lights to ballparks, this has not been an issue. In other countries, ties are more common. For instance, in Nippon Pro Baseball, a game tied after 12 innings is ruled a tie except in the postseason. The Korea Baseball Organization has had ties even in the Korean Series as they have both an inning limitation and a time of game limitation. One of the most famous ties in baseball took place in the 2002 All-Star Game, when Bud Selig halted play after 11 innings as the teams were running low on pitchers.
