100 Innings of Baseball – 2025
The 22nd Annual 100 Innings of Baseball Spectacular, the world’s longest baseball game consisting of 100 straight innings over the course of more than 36 consecutive hours, gets underway on Saturday, October 11th at 9 a.m. on Adams Field in Quincy. The game is expected to conclude on Sunday afternoon.
Proceeds will support The Angel Fund, an independent nonprofit charity that benefits ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research at UMass Cahan Medical School in Worcester under the direction of world-renowned ALS research, Dr. Robert H. Brown, Jr.
Coordinated and hosted by chief umpire Walter Bentson, 100 Innings of Baseball Spectacular has raised just under $1 million for the fight against ALS since 2004.
The game will be officiated by members of the Massachusetts Baseball Umpires Association (MBUA) with several statewide umpiring boards donating their services. At least four umpires will be on the field for all 100 innings and more than 80 umpires will participate in the event, working in two-hour shifts. Bentson, who has officiated innings since 2006, will make his annual ‘midnight appearance’ behind the plate.
Players from baseball leagues and individual baseball players are welcome to sign up to play all 100 innings, or as many as they can. There are approximately 20 ballplayers who have played all 100 innings of the previous games and most plan to play this year.
The cost to participate is $75 per player.
Players are also encouraged to raise money for ALS research by creating a fundraising page. Donations by check can be sent to The Angel Fund, 649 Main Street, Wakefield, MA 01880.
