The New York Mets have played some long — and Amazin’ — extra inning games. The longest game in franchise history was played at Shea Stadium on September 11, 1974. In fact, three of the 10 longest games in Mets history were against St. Louis (1974, 2010 and 2015) and the Mets won two of the three marathon games.
Below are the Top 10 longest games in franchise history. How many did you watch?
