Today in Baseball History:
- 1966 - The Miami Marlins and St. Petersburg Cardinals play the longest game in organized baseball history up to that point, needing 29 innings for Miami to prevail, 4 - 3. The game ends in the early hours of June 15th, after 6 hours and 59 minutes. It remains the longest game ever played without interruption, and only the longest game in baseball history, begun on April 18, 1981 but completed a number of weeks later, has gone more innings since.
- 1969 - Reggie Jackson of the Oakland Athletics collects 10 RBI with two home runs, a double and two singles against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. In the 8th inning, Jackson drives in three runs with a single when he easily could have made second base. Oakland wins, 21 - 7.
Best of Twitter:
- Phegley pitched in 2016, but still a noteworthy stat, and a great song choice...
Smolinski is the 12th Oakland position player to pitch for the team; the last before Smolinski was Tyler Ladendorf on June 3, 2006. Josh Phegley also pitched that year.

Smolinski comes out to pitch with his walk-up music, "Gimme Shelter." As @MikeSelleck notes on the PR PA system, this is Smolinski's big-league pitching debut.
