Major League Baseball, the host Reds, Chevrolet and Guinness World Records joined forces to stage the Largest Game of Catch with All-Star Week underway, and after 15 minutes of baseballs flying everywhere across three fields, it became official. The record now stands at 1,058 kids, ages 8-18, all playing catch simultaneously at the P&G Reds Urban Youth Academy.
