Details the longest game in baseball history, a grueling minor-league matchup between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings that lasted more than eight hours, with the last of the 33 innings being postponed until two months later. 100,000 first printing.

A nice read. Tails off at the end, just like the game did (anticlimactic). Still a nice, micro overview of P’TUCK-it and the players in the game. I liked knowing that everyone was okay in the end. And, of course they were, it’s just baseball (and an enormous privilege to play).
