PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — For Noah White, attending Pawtucket Red Sox games was about spending time with his father.
The Providence native told NewsNation affiliate WPRI that he fondly remembers frequenting McCoy Stadium with his dad as a child. White and his father were even there to witness the end of the longest professional baseball game in history on June 23, 1981.
The historic game against the Rochester Red Wings began on April 18. The teams played 32 innings before calling it quits nearly nine hours later. • Baseball's Longest Game, McCoy Stadium, 1981 (Courtesy: LeRoy White) • Baseball's Longest Game, McCoy Stadium, 1981 (Courtesy: LeRoy White) • Baseball's Longest Game, McCoy Stadium, 1981 (Courtesy: LeRoy White) • Baseball's Longest Game, McCoy Stadium, 1981 (Courtesy: L
