The Longest Game (original) (raw)

When the Rochester vs. Pawtucket game on April 18, 1981 began a half hour late due to light trouble, no one knew professional baseball history was about to be made.

As could be imagined, the stories told by players, fans and team personnel about the game itself and their association with it are countless.
