Default Longest Game

While it's not a baseball card, it is a 3x6 "card" so I'm including it just for fun!

Back in '81 I attended the end of the "33 Inning Longest Game" on a Providence Journal Press Pass. Just this AM I went up the road to one of the few remaining regular card shows in the RI-MA area & secured the signature of "Walpole Joe" Morgan, who was the Pawsox Mgr at that time.

I now consider my pass "Complete" w/ all the major "players" involved in winning that game.

For those not familiar, I now have the Team owner (Ben Mondor, deceased), the Mgr (Morgan), winning pitcher (Bobby Ojeda), winning run (Marty Barrett), winning RBI (Dave Koza) & the 2 Hall of Famers who played in that game, Wade Boggs & Cal Ripken Jr.

Needless to say, I'm pretty sure this is a unique item & am about 100% certain you won't see another one! It is one of the highlights of all the "stuff" I have!

Thought you might enjoy seeing it!
