60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
5/31/64 - The longest game in Major League Baseball history up to that time, ended at Shea Stadium in New York at 11:24 p.m., seven hours and 23 minutes after it had started, with the San Francisco Giants beating The New York Mets 8 to 6, in the 23rd inning. The game was actually the second game of a doubleheader between the Mets and Giants that day (the Giants won the first one, too, by a score of 5 to 3), and the personnel and fans who chose to stay for both contests were in the park for over ten hours.
