I kind of think that is a stupid statement - unless you are Stephen King who takes books with him to the ballgames. What does one thing have to do with the other?
A inning could be three batters up - three batters down. Three pitches - three choppers to the infield or three pop flies. Takes about three minutes. An inning could also be the team bats around and scores six or 7 runs. With time out for pitching changes, etc. Makes no sense to me. Who said such a thing? Gotta be King.

I'm guessing it's refering to a baseball inning, which can last from 3-ups, 3-downs, and repeated with the second team, as the shortest amount of time, or, in a more interesting game, it could go oooon thru the whole 9 players up to bat, and on both teams- I'd say, it's a short story that can be read in less than an hour, easy- Grab Ray Bradbury's short storys collection- read one at the bookstore, and time yourself. You may not want to put the book down, though...

An "inning" is a period indeterminate length. Likewise, a short story can vary greatly in length. But one that can be read in a baseball "inning" is probably one about ten pages in length.

You're in luck. The major league playoffs are on, and you can watch the next baseball game to see.
