[edit] The Longest Game In Baseball History
In 1981, McCoy Stadium was the site of a 33 inning game between the Paw Sox and the Rochester Red Wings. The game began on April 18th and was finally called at about four a.m. on April 19th. Play was resumed on June 23rd, and Pawtucket was finally victorious. A pair of future Hall of Famers, Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken, played in the marathon game.
