August 29, 1967 – The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox have been playing baseball as franchises professionally for well over a century, and they have had some long days and evenings on the diamond. The Yankee’s longest day, though took place in the modern era when they played a twin-bill against rival Boston.
The Red Sox took the first game 2-1 in 9 innings. The Bronx nine responded to win the second game in 20 innings for a 4-3 victory. All in the two games combined for a total of 8 hours and 19 minutes.
