What is the longest game you have ever worked? Time and/or innings!

[bossman72]

longest game was probably only 2:50 with the final being 17-14.

Longest day, however, was when i was scheduled to work 2 games in a tourney (first 2 of the day) and the umpires didn't show up for the other 3, so that was 5 games that ran from probably 11am to 8pm.

Well I had a 16 inning plate job in MiLB that ended 2-1 that took 3:35 in Lexington, KY, but I had an 11 or 12 inning game on Sat that took 4:41. It ended 7-5 San Jose State over Santa Clara. The worst part was after the game my crew was meeting up with the Stanford/Cal crew that was 35 min down the road at Stanford. We met 3 blocks from the stadium that I worked at and they had the pizza and beer on the table waiting for us. That made me feel like 2 cents, LOL.

I remember a 15-16 yearold summer league playoff game that started at 7 and went 14 or maybe 15 innings and took us past the 11pm city park curfew. Coaches had to bribe the guy from the city who was there to turn off the lights. Game finished somewhere between 4 and 4 1/2 hours.

Had a Pony League game a couple of years ago that was still tied after the 10th inning (something like 12-12) and 3 hours. The lights, thankfully, were on a timer that automatically turned them off at 10:30 pm. My BU knew the combination to the timer box, but we weren't about to tell the other teams that.

The longest game? 13 year old game to deterimine which team would represent the province at Canadian Nationals. Game started at 8:30, called by darkeness at 10:59 when lights went out mid 12th inning, resumed next morning at 8:30 and went to 17 innings, finishing at 11:15 am. Final score 7-6. No time limit due to need to play to a winner......All for $25 Canadian (approx $2 USD). A great game, and felt priviledged to be a part of it.

Well, that's got me beat. I've never had a game last 13 years.

I had a championship game in which we got five innings done before the rain whiped the game out. We played the sixth inning the next week. One of the coaches was wondering why we didn't get to play the seventh, and it was due to a time limit rule .

I worked a 17 inning game that was tied 2-2 after 7. Each team scored a run in the 9th innning. Each team scored 2 runs in the 13th (?) inning. Finally Shane Lechler (now the Pro Bowl punter for the Oakland Raiders) ended it with a home run in the 17th inning at 1:40 AM.

But the real kicker is that this was the 2nd game of a JV/Varsity doubleheader. We walked on the field at 4:00 PM and finally left at a quarter till two in the morning.
