May 9th has seen incredible feats in baseball history. Noteworthy moments include Earl Moore's near no-hitter in 1901, Jackie Robinson's performance in his first game outside New York in 1947, and consecutive grand slams recorded by Jim Gentile and Brooks Robinson in the early '60s. The longest game in MLB history occurred in 1984 between the White Sox and Brewers. Other remarkable events include Johnny Bench's historic three-homer game and Eddie Murray's two-way homer achievement, illustrating the day's significance in MLB lore.
In 1984, the White Sox and Brewers faced off in an unprecedented marathon, lasting 34 innings over two days, with a stunning 8-hour, 6-minute game.
Eddie Murray made history in 1987, becoming the first MLB player to hit home runs from both sides of the plate in consecutive games.
