On May 1, 1920, the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Robins battled to a 1-1 tie--after 26 innings, the longest major league game ever. While the Braves-Robins game featured impeccable pitching and fielding, the same cannot be said of the Kansas City Athletics game against the Chicago White Sox on April 22, 1959. On that day, the Chisox scored 11 runs in the seventh inning on only one base hit.These historic games and 246 others are fully covered in this unique reference work.
