According to the Baseball Hall of Fame and assuming you meant any game in general, rather than only MLB, the longest game was  33 innings.\n\nSome interesting tidbits from the longest game in professional baseball history - a 33-inning marathon between the Rochester Red Wings and Pawtucket Red Sox that began on April 18, 1981 and concluded nearly two months later: \n\nExtra special: The game surpassed by four innings the previous longevity record, established by Miami and St. Petersburg of the Florida State League in 1966. \n\nTime of game: 8 hours, 25 minutes. Achy, breaky knees: Wings catcher Dave Huppert caught 31 innings. \n\nSee the link below for full details.

Game 3 ALCS 2004?\n\nFrom that point on the Yankees were in control, setting a team record for postseason runs scored. The two teams combined for 37 hits and 20 extra-base hits, both postseason records, and at four hours and twenty minutes, it was the longest nine-inning postseason game ever played. Hideki Matsui had five hits and five RBIs, tying LCS records. Along with Alex Rodríguez, he tied the postseason record for runs scored with five.

Current or of all time? \n\nFor Current -- I'm going with the Rocket (Rodger Clemens). he's older than most players in the league, yet still throws in the upper 90's. last season he entered a game as a pinch hitter in the 14th inning and still threw a shut out. He's unbelievable, plus he has the competitive attitude I like (plus he isn't afraid to throw at batters' heads to back 'em off the plate).

Rickey Henderson is the one with the most stolen bases.  I don't believe there is a test for running in baseball, as in football tryout, so no one knows who is the fastest.  In order to steal a base, it depends not only on your speed, but also the timing.  It's hard to judge speed from SB record.\n\nMany pitchers run fast too, but they would never try to steal bases because they have to protect themselves.

12. Most recently done by Mark Whiten in 1993. He also hit 4 homers in that game.\n\nWho had 18? I would like to see it. I looked this up in a baseball record book.

The longest professional baseball game ever played was a 33-inning minor league baseball affair between the Rochester Red Wings and the Pawtucket Red Sox that took place on April 18, 1981, at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The two teams played deep into the frigid night with no end in sight. The game began just after 8:00 PM local time and continued until 4:07 AM the next morning, when it was paused after 32 innings. (The umpire's rule book was missing the revision that placed a curfew on game length.) On June 23, 65 days later, play resumed. The game was decided after just 18 more minutes as Pawtucket's Dave Koza singled off of Rochester's Cliff Speck to drive in Marty Barrett as the winning run, giving the PawSox a 3-2 victory. The official length of the game is listed as 8:25, also a record.\n\nIn 1996, Steven Krasner, a sports writer who covers baseball for the Providence Journal, published a children's book about the historic game called The Longest Game.\n\nESPN's SportsCenter did a piece about the game on July 25, 2005 during its 50 States in 50 Days segment for Rhode Island.

Monday, June 16\n \nAn MVP's encore: Playing in 500 straight games\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nESPN.com news services\n\n \nOakland Athletics shortstop Miguel Tejada, who on Sunday played in his 499th consecutive game, the longest active streak in baseball, is expected to suit up for No. 500 on Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers.\n\n \nNEW YORK -- Hideki Matsui tried for a sliding catch, landed hard on his left wrist and grimaced.\n\nHis consecutive games streak was over at 518 -- and perhaps his season, too.\n\n\nSecond:\n\nThe closest current active streak is 361 by Texas Rangers first baseman and former Mount St. Joseph star Mark Teixeira. \n\nYou didn't specify that you wanted the longest and the second longest, therefore the question was answered as asked.

Not surprisingly, all of the great true distance hitters have also been the source of the greatest exaggerations. Despite his extraordinary accomplishments, Babe Ruth is not immune. His tremendous blow to right-center field in Detroit on June 8, 1926, has often been reported as traveling over 600 feet. Certainly, this drive was propelled somewhere around 500 feet in the air, which makes it legitimately historic, but proof that it traveled 600 feet cannot be found. When Mickey Mantle cleared the left-center-field bleachers at Clark Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953, the entire baseball world was lead to believe the ball had traveled 565 feet from home plate to the point where it landed. In truth, that figure derived from the distance from home plate to the place where a neighborhood child retrieved the ball. Since this home run was the only one that ever cleared those bleachers during decades of major league and Negro League competition, it is genuinely deserving of recognition. However, the actual distance in the air was probably about 510 feet. The same process was at work for Mantle on September 10, 1960, in Detroit, where his right-center-field rooftopper was reported to have traveled more than 600 feet. From interviews with the surviving source of the original data, it is readily apparent once again that the all had bounced several times before it reached the estimated distance. Included among the other great exaggerations in the history of tape measure home runs are Dave Nicholson's Comiskey Park rooftopper on May 6, 1964, and Dave Kingman's Wrigley Field blast on April 14, 1976. In the case of Nicholson, who was a powerful man, as was Kingman, the figure of 573 feet was provided by "White Sox mathematicians." These unidentified individuals based their calculations on the assumption that the ball traveled completely over the left-center-field roof. however, subsequent investigation indicated that the ball landed on the back of the roof before bouncing into the night. When Kingman launched his wind-aided blow in Chicago, The New York Times somehow concluded that it had flown 630 feet. It has been confirmed that the ball struck against the third house beyond Waveland Avenue, which is situated about 530 feet from home plate. Yet again, we have an example of a genuinely epic home run that has been grievously overstated.\n\n\nOne other aspect of misrepresentation should be explored. Again, the vast talents of Herculean Mickey Mantle have been comprised by individuals who have unwittingly perpetrated a hoax. Let it be emphasized that the mighty Mick was undoubtedly one of baseball's all time longest hitters. He was an honest, sometimes even self-effacing individual, who was never known to overstate his accomplishments. It is due to his immense popularity and constant involvement in the tape measure process that he is often thrust into the muddle of misrepresentation. By his own account he hit the longest home run of his career on May 22, 1963 at Yankee Stadium. The ball struck the facade on the right-field roof approximately 370 feet from home plate and 115 feet above field level. Almost everyone in attendance believed that the ball was still rising when it was interrupted in midflight by the roof structure. Based upon that belief, this drive has commonly been estimated at about 620 feet if left unimpeded. However, the reality is that the ball was already on its way down, and those reporting the trajectory were victimized by a common optical illusion. It is a scientific fact that if Mantle, or anyone else, had sufficient strength to hit a ball that was still traveling upward when it met the towering facade, he would also have enough strength to clear that same facade by a distance of at least 100 feet. In order for the ball to be rising at roof level, it would have to have been traveling at a lower angle than that which produces maximum distance. If Mantle had provided the same power or velo
