Of longest pro baseball game:
Thirty-three innings!

| 1989 Fleer #47 Bob Ojeda |
A tie game on April 18, 1981 between the Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings was suspended after 32 innings. When the game resumed on June 23rd, Ojeda started the 33rd inning and got credit for the win when Pawtucket scored in the bottom half.

Nice! I almost went with the boat crash as a topic...
DeleteWhoa. That's a crazy long game. Another solid piece of baseball trivia.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people stuck around for those first 32 innings? Seems like anyone who did should've been rewarded in some way.
