He Played Both Games of the Longest Doubleheader By Time

My daily Twins calendar on January 13th talked about how on 05.31.1964 there was a doubleheader between the Giants and Mets that lasted the longest of any doubleheader (by time:  9 hours, 56 minutes).  I checked the boxscores to see who played a full game in each of the two games and found that Ed Kranepool of the Mets played both.  I sent Ed a baseball and received it back today.  He signed it with
Played Every Inning of Doubleheader 5-3-64″ and wrote about how he played 50 innings in 24 hours and wished the game went a little longer so it would have ended the next month!  Pretty neat comment about Ed’s 24 hour period!
