There is a baseball game in Alaska played at MIDNIGHT under SUNLIGHT 🤯
The Midnight Sun Game in Fairbanks, Alaska is a 120-year-old tradition where baseball is played on the summer solstice, under Alaska’s 24-hour sunlight
Since 1960, the game has been hosted by the Alaska Goldpanners, a collegiate summerball team with alumni that includes Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Tom Seaver and many more
The game starts at 10 p.m. and usually ends around 1:00 a.m.
"Hall of Famer Whitey Ford now on the field pleading with the crowd for, for some kind of sanity!"
"Wuh-oh! And a barrage of pretzels now knocking Whitey unconscious..."
Ronald Acuna Jr and Maikel Garcia leading the way for Venezuela. They’re cousins, and part of a group of 5 families (60 players!) who signed pro contracts. All from one 3,000-person town called La Sabana.
