May 9, 1984 - the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers completed a 25-inning game, lasted 8 hrs 6 min

athleticpoetics:

The longest American League game, and tied for the longest major league game by innings which ended with one team winning, was a 7-6 victory by the Chicago White Sox over the Milwaukee Brewers in 25 innings, at Comiskey Park in Chicago in 1984. The game began at 7:30 p.m. on the evening of May 8, and after scoring early runs both teams scored twice in the 8th inning; but the game was suspended after 17 innings with the score tied 3-3 due to a league rule prohibiting an inning from beginning after 12:59 a.m.

The game was continued the following evening, May 9, and both teams scored three times in the 21st inning to make the score 6-6; finally, in the bottom of the 25th, the White Sox’ Harold Baines hit a home run to end the contest. Tom Seaver was the winning pitcher in relief. (a regularly scheduled game followed, meaning both nights saw 17 innings played; Seaver also started, and won, the second game). The official time of the entire 25-inning game was 8 hours 6 minutes, also a major league record.

mightyflynn:

“[Avoiding hitting into double plays is] a combination, of being aware of the situation, of what you’re facing and what [the pitcher] is trying to do. I also think it’s a byproduct of how my thoughts have changed about the baseball swing itself — knowing that me putting the ball on the ground is death. In any situation, guys on, guys not on, you name it, me putting the ball on the ground is never a good thing.

“You look at a lot of the best in the game, the Miguel Cabreras, they put the ball in the air, and make a lot of outs on balls in the air. I think your swing has to be able to produce that. Obviously, that’s kind of the tricky part — pitchers are out there trying to throw you sinkers in and sliders out and away, to make you put the ball on the ground. Hopefully, you’re building a swing to put the ball in the air. For a middle-of-the-order guy, that’s crucial.”
