2009 Midnight Sun Game "Derrick
Chung went 3-5 with a home run, Jarod Berggren 3-4 with 2 RBI
and Jesse Darrah pitched six beautiful innings, taking the game
from the Monarchs and delighting the overflow crowd of 4,000 at
Growden Park. Start time for the game was of course 10:30 p.m.,
as it is annually on the Summer Solstice, and no lights were
used."

MIDNIGHT SUN GAME
"Fairbanks is an insane town." Photo by JIM LAVRAKAS / Anchorage Daily News A batter in the 100th Midnight Sun Game steps to the plate around 11 p.m. Tuesday in Fairbanks as the sun blazes in the west. Established in 1906 as the result of a bar bet, the annual baseball game played on the solstice is the only game to be contested after midnight without artificial lights. This year, the event attracted more than 20 journalists, according to organizers, including reporters from New York and Chicago. |

PRESENTING THE "PRE-PANNER" HISTORY OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN GAME
| Looking Back in Fairbanks June 22, 1950 - Bunching their hits when hits meant runs, the Fairbanks Midnight Sun League All-Stars last night won the traditional midnight sun ballgame from the U.S. Army of Alaska All-Stars from Anchorage by a score of 5 to 2. Tom Morgan managed the Fairbanks aggregation. He had said that all on the roster of the Midnight Sun Stars would get a chance to play and he kept his promise to the last man who showed up at Griffin field in uniform.. | Looking Back in FairbanksJune 22, 1925 - Proof that there is material galore for a fine baseball team in Fairbanks was shown at the Midnight baseball game played Sunday night at the ball grounds. Two picked teams from the baseball players in town showed up in good form for a seven-inning game to a 5-2 score. The radio station supplied the batteries for one side and the sawmill was represented in the other town team. |
