On this date in 1966, the longest UNINTERRUPTED professional baseball game was played between the Class A Florida State League's Miami Marlins and St. Petersburg Cardinals, managed by Hall of Famer Sparky Anderson. The game lasted 6 hours and 59 minutes and wasn't decided until the 29th inning! The Marlins finally broke the tie and won 4-3 after neither team scored for 17 consecutive innings ⚾️

"Harmon Killebrew visited 8-year-old John Guiney, who was badly burned when his altar robe caught fire, while lighting candles at his parish church in Brooklyn, New York. From the time that Johnny was admitted into the New York Hospital, he had: "Done little but talk about Harmon Killebrew.” Johnny’s bed was filled with baseball magazines and bubble gum cards, and a lot of the cards were of Killebrew. So, on the morning of May 20, you can imagine the look on that eight-year-old boy’s face when Harmon Killebrew walked into his hospital room. “John recognized his hero the moment he walked into the room yesterday, but just to make sure, he flipped open one of his magazines. It was the same man, alright.” Then Johnny and Harmon got into a conversation. “How old are you, John?” Killebrew asked. “Eight,” replied the young Guiney. “That’s a coincidence. I have a boy who’s eight too. What month were you born?” “August.” “That’s the very month my kid was born.” To that, Johnny let out a big smile. That was when Harmon signed a baseball for him and gave it to him. He also signed a photograph on which was written: “My pal, John…” That was when Johnny got a little nervous. “If you wouldn’t mind…” “What’s that?” asked Killebrew. Johnny reached under his pillow in his hospital bed and pulled out his baseball glove. “Would you autograph my glove too?” Killebrew smiled and said: “I sure will! What position do you play?” To which Johnny gushed: “Shortstop! We play over in Prospect Park. I live at 77 Underhill Avenue. That’s very near the park!” Harmon Killebrew then made a deal with John: "If you hurry up and get well, the next time I’m in town, I’ll take you out to the ball park and you can meet all the fellows." "I’ll watch you on television" the freckle-faced youngster said from his hospital bed. "Maybe I’ll hit you a couple of home runs", Killebrew responded. Guess what? Harmon Killebrew hit two home runs for John! May 20, 1964. “Nobody in the lifetime of our organization is more deserving of entering the Hall of Fame than Killebrew. He’s in the same class as Senator pitching great Walter Johnson. Killebrew was the meal ticket for our franchise for all those years in Washington and Minnesota. He had fan appeal. He sold tickets.” Calvin Griffiths, Twins’ President.

Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley had such strong chemistry in VIVA LAS VEGAS (1964) that the studio expanded Ann-Margret’s role during production, turning the film into a true two-star showcase rather than a typical Elvis vehicle.

"We won the World Series before it even got started. The Pirates were the other club, and the first two games were scheduled for Forbes Field. Naturally we showed up a day early and worked out in the strange park, and we won the Series during that workout. We really put on a show. Lou and I banged ball after ball into the right field stands, and I finally knocked one out of the park in right center. Bob Meusel and Tony Lazzeri kept hammering balls into the left field seats. One by one, the Pirates got up and left the park. Some of them were shaking their heads when we last saw them." Babe Ruth. "At batting practice today, Lou Gehrig slams three balls in a row into the upper deck of the right field grandstands. Forbes Field is nearly empty, so we can hear each shot bang off the seats. Sounds like shelling from a battleship and those guys look shell shocked." 'Schoolboy' Waite Hoyt. "The Pirates watched us take batting practice before the first game. Ruth, Gehrig and Meusel kept hitting ball after ball out of the park. The Pirates were beaten before they started." Mark Koenig. "What good are seven starting pitchers in a four game Series?" Babe Ruth. Prior to the start of the 1927 World Series, a reporter told Ruth that the Yankees were taking the Pittsburgh Pirates too lightly because: "They have seven good starting pitchers." The Yankees had won a then-league record 110 games, and finished with a 19-game lead over second place. "Murderer's Row" was anchored by Babe Ruth, who hit sixty home runs and batted .356. Lou Gehrig, who had forty-seven home runs and batted .373. Earle Combs, who hit .356 and led the league in hits, singles and triples. Tony Lazzeri, who hit eighteen home runs and batted .309. Bob Meusel who hit .337. As game time at Yankee Stadium was 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon, and average games lasted a shade under two hours, the phenomenon was dubbed: “Five O’Clock Lightning.” Ruth and Gehrig. "The First World Series Win For 'Murderers Row.'"

Those four seasons serving in World War II cost me at least 100 victories and 1,000 strikeouts. If it hadn’t been for the war, I would have made sure I had more victories than anybody but Cy Young and Walter Johnson, and I would have broken Johnson’s strikeout record. I learned how to hold runners on by practising my move in my hotel room. I learned how to throw a curve in my hotel room too. I’d break off a curve into two or three pillows that I piled up on the bed. I had a lot of feathers all over my hotel room but eventually I had a curve too. I was faster than Sandy Koufax but once he got control, he had better control than I did. I never saw Walter Johnson but he might have been faster than me. I’ll take Bill Klem’s word for it. Nolan Ryan’s fastball was timed at 100.9 miles an hour and he can throw as hard as anybody for a few pitches. The thing about Ryan is that he’s kept his speed even into his 30’s. That’s remarkable. But he’s inconsistent. He should win 25 games every year just by throwing his glove on the mound. If I could do it over again, I would have worked on my control a lot more. Half the games I lost, I lost because of a walk. I was wilder than I should’ve been." Bob Feller. "The Heater From Van Meter."

"Before the game, Vin Scully waxed poetic about Wrigley Field: 'She stands alone at the corner of Clark and Addison, this dowager queen, dressed in basic black and pearls, seventy-five years old, proud head held high and not a hair out of place, awaiting yet another date with destiny, another time for Mr. Right. She dreams as old ladies will of men gone long ago. Joe Tinker. Johnny Evers. Frank Chance. And of those of recent vintage like her man Ernie. And the Lion, Leo Durocher. And Sweet Billy Williams. And she thinks wistfully of what might have been, and the pain is still fresh and new, and her eyes fill, her lips tremble, and she shakes her head ever so slightly. And then she sighs, pulls her shawl tightly around her frail shoulders, and thinks: 'This time, this time it will be better.'" "A Nice Little Place on the North Side." George F Will.
