Baseball holds its records sacred. Most home runs, strikeouts, career wins. But what about the longest game ever? That honor goes to a 1981 AAA game, when the Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings slugged it out from dusk to dawn. The record-breaking 33 innings brought hope, despair and drama on and off the field. Radio Diaries and 30 for 30 Podcasts take listeners to that frigid, surreal night with the voices who lived it – including Hall of Famers Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken Jr. Most heroes of The Longest Game never made it big, but their unflagging endurance made history.

what happened to Wednesdays episode
Great podcast!! I'm a big fan. Keep it up!! 👍
😉😭r koff ym u7inh3.k7
everyone should disapprove racism. Racism is not good for every human being. https://www.ballsportsgear.com/
Great episode of the podcast. I loved hearing Tim Kirkjian's speech. Very touching! 👍
Bravo to Pablo Torres for the great interview of The Great Baseball writer Tim Kirkjian. So damn funny and entertaining! 👍👍
I was looking for a good MLB podcast and I found it. This is indeed an excellent, informative and fun to listen to podcast about MLB. I highly recommend it!
how can you guys just approve #blm organisation? everyone should disapprove racism. but please dont use that violent org as front sign of anti racism. cause they are very opposite to that in its core
Hope ESPN reconsiders and restarts Fantasy Focus Baseball pod. Tristan is one of the few analysts who doesn't get duped by flash-in-the-pan fantasy "stars."
I'm sad that they have signed off. Great guys with great analysis. They were a joy to listen to.
I have loved this show for many years. Sad to see it go.
Have unsubscribed. Mlb and ESPN have gone off the deep end. BLM is not what they claim to be. All races are equal but the way it is being handled is un American. Moving the All Star game is the last straw. Georgia voting laws are very fair and only ask for a photo ID. That is quite available and needed for almost everything we do. Everyone is caving in to seem woke and giving in to big commerce. Good bye, no big loss.
good episode
really looking forward to this season
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers!!! Its been a long time coming.
Altuve??? no bangs no whistles no show....
Great episode as always, Buster! 👍
Great show today!
Another packed, informative show today, Buster! 👍 This post season is going to be remembered for sure whoever comes out on top... 8 games in one day is insane! 😁
What did I say? Don't discount the Yankees! 😁 Bieber is good, but this is not his year.
