The 8th Annual 100 innings of Baseball game for ALS will be held once again at Adams Field in Quincy, MA over Columbus Day weekend starting at 9:00am on Saturday, 10/08, and continuing for 33+ straight hours, ending sometime Sunday afternoon, 10/09.
Curt Schilling will once again be playing this year. His son Gehrig, a high school junior from Medfield, is expected to pitch some. Curt and Shonda Schilling continue to support of the ALS cause. They’ve been true champions and have been directly responsible for raising over 10 million dollars for ALS since Curt began his major league career.
Reeboks is sponsoring the game for their 8th consecutive year, providing durable game equipment to those ironmen playing in this world’s longest game.

Since it’s inception in 2004, the 7 previous games have raised a staggering $488,000 for ALS, an incredible amount especially in these tough times.
In 2011, participants in the 100 innings and umpire chief Walter Bentson will align with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the ALS Clinic at BIDMC to help patients and programs in their clinic. Walter is an ALS patient himself, yet continues to be the umpire chief for this game, and for more than 14,000 regular season games around Boston during the regular season.
