June 12, 1967
At District of Columbia Stadium the Washington Senators and the Chicago White Sox played in what was the longest night game (22 innings, six hours, and 38 minutes) in Major League history. The Senators win the game 6-5 when Paul Casanova hits a single to left field and Hank Allen scores the winning run in the bottom of the 22nd inning.
The ninth at bat is the charm for the Senators’ catcher, Paul Casanova. After catching the entire 22 innings and going zero for his first eight at bats, Casanova was able to produce the game-winning hit.
Quick Facts:
Paul Casanova makes the 1967 the American League all star team.
