(LOT 946)
Pawtucket Red Sox Team Signed Game Used Baseball From LONGEST PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL GAME PSA/DNA Pre-Certified

This is by far one of the most historic baseballs we've ever offered. A game used baseball directly from Mike Smithson, one of the members of the Pawtucket Red Sox who pitched in the LONGEST PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL GAME ever played. The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings, two teams from the Triple-A International League, played the longest game in professional baseball history.

It lasted 33 innings, with 8 hours and 25 minutes of playing time. 32 innings were played April 18/19, 1981, at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and the final 33rd inning was played June 23, 1981. Pawtucket won the game, 3–2. This baseball, from the Mike Smithson collection, was used in the game and then signed by the whole team afterwards. Autographs include early vintage pre-rookie signature of Wade Boggs, Bobby Ojeda, Rich Gedman, Joe Morgan, Marty Barrett, Mike Smithson and more. An amazing piece of baseball history! PSA/DNA Pre-Certified & Mike Smithson Player LOA.
