Curt Schilling sponsors a 100-inning game every year for one of his charities, though this probably can't be considered a true competitive event.
The longest professional game was begun on April 18, 1981 between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings (and Orioles farm club). The teams played 32 innings on April 18 and 19th before the game was suspended after about 7 hours. It was resumed on June 23, and Pawtucket won in the 33rd inning, 3-2. Interestingly, both 3rd basemen in the game - Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken - are now Hall of Famers.
The longest major league game by time was one between the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers on May 8, 1984 - it went 25 innings in 8 hours, 6 minutes; the Sox won, 7-6.
The longest MLB game by innings was 26, a game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Braves on May 1, 1920. It ended in a 1-1 tie and was never resumed. If you want to discount that because it was a tie, there have been a couple 25-inning games: the White Sox-Brewers game mentioned above, and one between the Cardinals and Mets on September 11, 1974 (won by St. Louis, 4-3).

It was a AAA game between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings played on April 18-19 and completed on June 23, 1981. The final score was 3-2 PawSox and it lasted 33 innings (over three days as mentioned above).
Two cool things about the game:
1. Pawtucket scored a run in the bottom of the 9th to tie it at 1. And:
2. in the 21st inning both teams scored a run.

The Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings, two teams from the triple-A International League, played the longest game in professional baseball history in 1981 at Pawtucket's McCoy Stadium.
The game began on Saturday, April 18, 1981, and continued through the night and into Easter morning before finally being suspended. Although most leagues have a curfew rule that would have suspended the game, the rule book that the home-plate umpire had that night did not contain one. So the teams continued playing until the president of the league, Harold Cooper, was finally reached on the phone sometime after 3 a.m. Finally at 4:09, at the end of the 32nd inning, the game was stopped and would be resumed at a later date. At this point, there were 19 fans left in the seats, all of whom were given lifetime passes to McCoy Stadium.[citation needed]
The game resumed on the evening of Tuesday, June 23, the next time the Red Wings were in town. A sellout crowd and news media from around the world were on hand, partly because the major leagues were on strike at the time. On that evening, it took just one inning and 18 minutes to settle the game, with Pawtucket's Dave Koza driving in Marty Barrett for the winning run in the bottom of the 33rd.
