How long can a tied baseball game go on?

I know that weather can stop a tied game. And from what I've seen with the All Star Game, I am assuming that if a team runs out of pitchers that they can end it (but I am not sure about that) so short of those situations, will a baseball game go on forever? How long is the longest MLB game?|||there are several "longest game" records for major league play, measuring by either clock time or by number of innings played. Going by clock time, the longest MLB game ever played was played on May 9, 1984, when the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers batled to a 7-6 White Sox win in a 25 inning game lasting 8 hours, 6 minutes . Going by number of innings played, the longest MLB game is a 1-1 tie between the Brooklyn Robins (as the Dodgers franchise was then known, in honor of the Brooklyn manager, the legendary Wilbert Robinson) and the Boston Braves that was played on May 1, 1920. That game took 26 innings for the teams to battle to their non-decision. For what it's worth (i.e., for those of you who think that letting a baseball game end in a tie somehow disrupts the very fabric of the space-time continuum), the longest MLB games (in innings) to be played to a decision are the aforementioned Chicago-Milwaukee game and a September 11, 1974 marathon in which the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets, 4-3 at Shea Stadium. Both these games took 25 innings to play to completion.|||They only stopped the All Star game because it wasn't a "real" game and the comissioner decided to cut it out.





As for real games, I think they are supposed to go until they untie. No matter what the pitching situation is.|||It can go for ETERNITY!!|||until the person in charge says so....|||A game could go on forever I suppose.





The Curfew to start an inning is 2am (pretty sure of that, alhough I could be wrong).





If, after an inning is started by the curfew, the game would be played before the start of the next scheduled game exactly where it left off.





I am not sure this has ever happened, but I do know that The Yankees and Tigers played a 22 inning game once.|||9 may 1984...





chicago white sox 7...milwaukee brewers 6...





25 innings...8 hours 6 minutes playing time...|||It is played until it is not tied the longest game on record in inning was between Boston and Brooklyn on 5/1/1920. It went 26 innings. Since then a few games have gone 25.|||The longest game in MLB history is 32 innings...i think between 2 days tho...|||until it's over, the tie in the all star game a few years back was BS..the all star game is for the fans|||there have been some that have been halted in the twenty someting inning range and continued at a later date.|||lots of factors enter into it. in regard to regular season games, some are suspended, to be finished at a later time. the all-star game tie was just bud being bud. all bb fans know what i mean. the bottom line is, whoever is in charge decides what to do. selig, unfortunately, is the guy in big time, like the playoffs, but usually the chief umpire decides. the reality is that bb has always found a way to end it, even if it does take two days and/or 26 innings.|||My personal experience was a seventeen inning ballgame that got called at midnight, still a tie.......... And that was the second game of a double header, What a day!!!! The only thing that was a drag is that after investing that much time, you want to see SOMEONE Win!!!!!!!!!!|||A very long time. The Pawtucket Red Sox (the AAA team of the Boston Red Sox) once played a 33 inning game.|||The American League has a curfew of 2 am local time; the National League does not.
