Longest Ever Baseball Game

What is the longest baseball game ever in terms of time and innings?

The Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings, two teams from the triple-A International League, played the longest game in professional baseball history in 1981 at Pawtucket’s McCoy Stadium.

The game began on Saturday, April 18, 1981, and continued through the night and into Easter morning before finally being suspended. Although most leagues have a curfew rule that would have suspended the game, the rule book that the home-plate umpire had that night did not contain one. So the teams continued playing until the president of the league, Harold Cooper, was finally reached on the phone sometime after 3 a.m. Finally at 4:09, at the end of the 32nd inning, the game was stopped and would be resumed at a later date. At this point, there were 19 fans left in the seats, all of whom were given lifetime passes to McCoy Stadium.

The game resumed on the evening of Tuesday, June 23, the next time the Red Wings were in town. A sellout crowd and news media from around the world were on hand, partly because the major leagues were on strike at the time. On that evening, it took just one inning and 18 minutes to settle the game, with Pawtucket’s Dave Koza driving in Marty Barrett for the winning run in the bottom of the 33rd.

The Baseball Same Game $20.98 Ever since there has been a professional game, baseball fans have enjoyed debating comparisons of one player to another?both contemporaries and players across various eras in the sport?s history. The Baseball Same Game adds to those debates. However, rather than focus on the traditional ?Who?s better?? arguments (such as ?Mantle or Mays?? or ?Ruth or Aaron??) The Baseball Same Game takes on the particular cases of ?Which players were the same?? Unique baseball metrics?apart from those common and conventional baseball statistics that one would typically see on the back of a player?s bubble gum card?are used to analyze career performance. And, The Baseball Same Game gives consideration to relativity when comparing statistics of baseball players from different eras in the game. Which baseball all-time greats were the same in terms of their relative performance? Who are the recently retired players that match-up to the stars of baseball?s past? What players not in the Baseball Hall of Fame measure up to those already in the Hall? The Baseball Same Game provides these answers and more.
