Longest game in MLB history:
May 1, 1920 — Brooklyn Robins at Boston Braves, 26 innings
The Robins (later called the Dodgers) and the Braves played to a 1-1 tie. Umpires called the game because of darkness.
:-)
The next longest game was played with lights, and did NOT end in a tie:
September 11, 1974 — St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets, 25 innings The Cardinals defeated the Mets 4-3. And while no team wants to be on the losing end of such a long game, the Mets lost in the worst possible way: An error on a pickoff attempt.
“The official result of the World Hide-and-Seek, Mr Don Roberts from Hinckley, Leicestershire, 11 years, 2 months, 26 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, 27 seconds. Mr Francisco Huron, Paraguay, 11 years, 2 months, 26 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, 27 seconds. The result - a tie.”
May 5th of this year, Brewers beat the Mets after 18 innings!
