I am a member of the Marathon Seekers Group which is doing research to locate all baseball marathons lasting 20 or more innings. We have 648 so far on our List.
But so far there are only 227 from Amateur Baseball.
We are hoping that you may be able to help us find some of these games. We feel like we have only hit the tip of the Iceberg; we have only begun to scratch the surface.
These marathons are very difficult to discover however.
We are hoping that you can review the history of Amateur baseball in your records to see if there may be such a game waiting to be discovered.
We offer an Official Certificate to all those who report a new game to be added to the List.
