The 1920 Boston Braves season was the 50th season of the franchise.
On May 1, the Braves and the Brooklyn Robins (later the Brooklyn Dodgers and now the Los Angeles Dodgers) played what remains the longest major league baseball game, tied 1 to 1 at the end of nine innings and then going scoreless for 17 more until the 26-inning game was called because of darkness [1]
