Baseball games don't - can't - go on forever. The longest professional major league game in the modern era - in terms of innings played - lasted happened on May 5, 1920, a 26 inning affair that ended in a tie.
But what about the longest nine-inning game in MLB history? That was played by the Yankees and Red Sox on Aug. 18, 2006. The very first at-bat of the game (Johnny Damon versus Jon Lester) was 10 pitches long.
The longest game in major league baseball history was a 25-inning affair on May 8, 1984 when the Chicago White Sox beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 7-6. The game lasted 8 hours and 6 minutes. The longest World Series game was the 18-inning Game 3 in which the Dodgers beat the Red Sox, 3-2.
World Series Game 3 between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers reached epic proportions. The Dodgers, thanks to a walk off homer by Max Muncy, outlasted the Red Sox with a 3-2 victory in 18 innings, shattering the World Series record for longest game in history - in time and frames.
Tie. In normal play, ties should not occur in baseball, as the rules state that extra innings are played until one of the two teams wins the game. So, ties can only be the result of special circumstances. Such games were more common in the early days of Major League Baseball, when darkness would halt games on occasion.
Over the next few decades, writers marked off draw with quotes or italics, which shows the word was novel. The word was familiar by the 1870s. This draw is short for draw-game, which the OED finds for a “tie” by 1825. A draw-game, in turn, is a variation on a drawn battle or drawn match.
In basketball, if the score is tied at the end of regulation play, the teams play multiple five-minute overtime periods until a winner is decided. If the score remains tied after an overtime period, this procedure is repeated. As many as six overtime periods have been necessary to determine a winner in an NBA game.
According to the FIFA World Cup regulations, extra time will consist of two periods of 15 minutes each. The game continues through all 30 minutes of extra time, whether or not goals are scored. If the score is still tied after 30 minutes of extra time, both teams will take penalty kicks.

List of Major League Baseball All-Star Games. Ninety Major League Baseball All-Star Games have been played since the inaugural one in 1933. The American League (AL) leads the series with 45 victories, and a 373–370 run advantage; two games ended in ties.
The truth is that the American League's edge is more on the mound than it is at the plate. Sort of like how American League clubs are always going to be better run-scoring teams because of the DH, National League clubs are always going to have better pitching numbers because of how pitchers have to bat for themselves.
Statcast: Trout's All-Star homer
Along with those homers, Trout has a triple and two doubles in his All-Star Game career. The only player with more total extra-base hits for the AL in the Midsummer Classic is Ted Williams, who had seven.The American League has won 45 times and the National League has won 43 times. There have been two games that were tied.
As of the 2017 All-Star Game (the 2016–17 NBA season), the Eastern Conference leads with a record of 37 wins and 29 losses.
New York City has hosted it more than any other city, having done so nine times in five different stadiums; after 2017, Tampa Bay will remain the only major league city since the first All-Star Game in 1933 to never have hosted.
2019: Progressive Field (Cleveland Indians)
Once the 2019 game is in the books, Cleveland will have hosted a total of six All-Star Games, putting it third behind only Chicago (seven) and New York (nine) among cities that have been the site of the most Midsummer Classics.Since 1988, the American League has dominated, going 25–6–1, including a 13-game unbeaten streak (12–0–1) from 1997 to 2009. The AL has a 373–370 run advantage.
