Midnight Sun Baseball Classic
Location: Fairbanks, Alaska

It sounds like a baseball fan's dream: If the sun shines all night long, why not have a game? So every year on the summer solstice, the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks host a game that starts at 10:30 p.m. and usually finishes around 2 a.m. "We don't need to turn on the lights," said Todd Dennis, associate general manager of the Goldpanners. "It gets to be dusk around the sixth or seventh eighth inning, but the sun's coming up by the end of the game. It just dips beyond ridge." The game's been going for more than a century. The Goldpanners are part of the Alaska Baseball League, a wood bat league for college players. Many stars have come through and participated in the classic, including Tom Seaver, Dave Winfield and Barry Bonds. Bill "Spaceman" Lee pitched in it as a collegian in 1967, and again as a 61-year-old barnstormer in 2008. Be warned: The last two years, the game has gone into extra innings. Talk about your twilight double-headers.
