From today's featured article  Newspaper advertisement for game tickets On Sunday, July 10, 1932, an 18-inning baseball game was played at League Park in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S. The Philadelphia Athletics defeated the Cleveland Indians, 18–17, in a game that saw a number of records set. Johnny Burnett of Cleveland set Major League Baseball (MLB) records that still stand with seven singles and nine total hits. Cleveland's 33 hits and the 58 total hits in the game are also MLB records; the 35 runs scored set a record for a extra-inning MLB game that stood until 1979. Eddie Rommel secured the win over Cleveland's Wes Ferrell. The Athletics had taken only two pitchers on the one-game road trip, required since Sunday baseball was illegal in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia's Lew Krausse gave up three runs in the first inning. Rommel then pitched an American League–record 17 innings in relief, allowing 14 runs, the most ever by a winning MLB pitcher, and 29 hits, a one-game MLB pitching record. This was Rommel's 171st MLB victory; he never won another major league game. (Full article...)
