Rochester red Wings and Pawtucket Red Sox in Pawtucket, RI.. Played on a Sat night and well into Sunday.. Easter. morningi 1981 before it was postponed, still tied..
it was finished several months later.. and rather quickly, I might add.

Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken, Jr. played.

There is a wonderful book about it - BOTTOM OF THE 33RD. And not just about the game.....

Longest game I ever attended happened to be the Red Wings also, in Rochester, 17 innings, as I remember... it was freakin' cold. Almost everybody had left.. maybe 50 of us die hards still hanging' on.
All the concession stands had closed long ago, so, the General Manager ordered PIZZA for everyone !!!!! Is that too cool or what,,,
