The Longest Game in Major League Baseball History

On July 4, 1985, the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves played one of the craziest baseball games of all time, spanning eight over eight hours and 19 innings with one of the most unlikely home runs ever hit.

I remember coming home from being out all night, watching and throwing fireworks with my friends in my neighborhood. I was 12 back then,and it must've been around 1 or 1:30 in the morning,a Friday night,going into Saturday. Not being the least bit sleepy, I was changing channels on the black and white TV we had in the kitchen,and lo and behold,channel 9 was showing this very game. It tripped me out that they were still playing,and I watched till the very end

Same

[@henleyj84]

That's a really cool memory.

[@JoeyTV]

Great story

[@4bangersupra574]

I was actually at this game,I was 7 years old and I remember falling asleep on my dads lap,we stayed all the way until the end.I remember it well

[@lovesgucci1]

July 1993 Padres @ Phillies! Started with like 65k fans for a doubleheader & 2nd game started at 1:30am! Drunks started filling into the Vet & game didn’t end until 4:41am!

[@TarHeelsKenny]

I watched this entire game with my late father. I was 11 years old and at the height of my love for baseball. Good memories man, good memories.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

I watched this game. By the end the booth was delirious. 🤣

[@rustykuntz94]

Without question the craziest game ever. I loved Danny Heep's reaction after the Camp HR

[@disneyforthewin]

I remember this night so well. The Mets catcher waving in the outfield on Rick Camp will live on forever

Hall Of Fame Catcher Gary Carter

[@jpsned]

I remember my dad (a fellow Met fan) telling me about this game the morning after it happened. This later became known as "The Rick Camp Game." (BTW, at 4:50, Rick Cerone's last name is pronounced suh-ROAN, not suh-ROH-nee.) 👍

[@buckeyechris21]

Great video, but the stadium where this game was played was NOT the stadium that hosted the 1996 Olympics. That one was Turner Field.

[@henleyj84]

Turner Field hosted the Olympics, but Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium hosted the baseball games. After the Olympics, Turner Field was reconfigured for baseball.

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

One of my earliest memories is as a three year old and waking up to watch my mom watching this game at midnight (my father was a shift worker). We were two hours behind so it ended for us around one or two in the morning.

[@kaneviktorovich99]

I can tell you now, if this happened now, I would be one of those brave souls at the game lol

[@sbrown9020]

Ive never heard of this game but this should be talked about more

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Keith Hernandez for the Hall of Fame.

[@amsc6657]

Rick Camp needs to be in the hall of fame

[@adumitrascu5338]

cool video man this is so underrated

[@mariofanalex4455]

What about the Sox vs brewers game that lasted 26 innings from a year prior?

[@007Julie]

When baseball was first invented in the 1840’s the winning team would be the first who scored 21 runs. Can you guys imagine how long those games were?

[@theaterdreamer]

The longest game in Major League was between the Brewers and White Sox on this day forty years ago. It went 25 innings.

[@amsc6657]

Rick Camp should be in the HOF

[@deepdrag8131]

Camp wasn’t hitting “point sixty”. That would be .600. He was hitting “point zero sixty” which is .060.

[@yourmumsahoe1]

.600 would be “point 600” .060 is “point 60”

[@RetroBaseball]

Wonderful video Mr. quotes.

[@BaseballQuotes1]

Thanks Retro

[@delusionalpiratesrants2050]

I didn’t no that this really happened that’s crazy

[@BaseballQuotes1]

it was a wild game for sure!

[@jimnfl7134]

2018 World Series Game 3 would like a Word with you!!

[@terrycoleman9920]

It was not the longest game in MLB history. It was officially 6 hr. 10 minutes. The White Sox Brewers 1984 game went 8 hr 6 minutes.

[@dadll1090]

Dale Murphy should be in HOF!!!!!

[@smittykins]

John Sterling sounds EXACTLY the same!

[@jojijoji88]

Never cared for John Sterling too much. Whenever he was on I would turn the volume off on the TV and listen to the radio broadcast.

[@travisbryant3185]

yessir!

[@three-quartersbadger2929]

This is not the longest MLB game in terms of innings, but I once was catcher for a 22-inning game whose elapsed time I don't know. I actually didn't feel that tired until after the game ended, but the next few days were hell. I had a great game at the plate: 6 for 11 with 2 walks. I kept getting on early in innings then being stranded.

Man this is such a epic video and look back in time. I dislike baseball a lot, but love it when it's presented like this here. Well done man! You're officially the only other creator to make baseball a fun topic to watch about outside of Jomboy!

What about the white sox vs brewers game?

[@SorokingProd30]

Isn’t this the game where Gary carter or the Braves catcher waved in the outfielders and someone hit a homer run? I found out it was

[@_Farbs]

The field had dried up by the time they were in the 17th

[@AbleAnderson]

19 innings isn’t the longest game. If you’re talking time maybe but there have been longer games inning wise. When I searched KZbin for longest game in mlb history I was looking for most extra innings

[@Blop934]

Yea the longest in innnings was 33

[@samrusso4374]

This is the longest MLB game time wise. Although this one was delayed. The Mets were also one of the teams that played in the longest MLB game ever without a delay or postponement, a game that went over 7 hours and ended after 3 AM.

[@shrimpflea]

Longest time game. He clearly states that in the beginning.

[@Chooseaname-mb4jc]

@@shrimpflea The time of the game was 6 hours, 10 minutes, not counting the rain delays, which tacked on another two hours. The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings game in 1981 had 8 hours and 25 minutes, just for the playing time. So OP was right, 19 innings isn't the longest game, not by playtime, nor by innings.

[@CynicalCharlatan88]

@@Chooseaname-mb4jcmajor league and minor league baseball records are separated so you and the op are obviously the ones who are wrong.

Probably. Just put on the coffee and plow through it.

[@warchild5885]

Joe biden was at this game

[@walterwatts9146]

Yes he was. Biden threw out the 1st pitch, umpired 2nd base for a couple of innings, and hit one the game tying home runs.
