July 30, 1962: Pan Alaska Wins Series, Retains NBC State Championship

1962 Alaska State Champions

Bob Maxwell

July 31, 1962 "Looking Forward - Red Boucher, manager of the state champion Pan Alaska Gold Panners baseball team, expresses his determination to take his team to Wichita, Ka., for the National Baseball Congress tournament for semi-professional state winners, which begins Aug. 17. Boucher has said that sending the team will cost $7,500. A public subscription campaign has been started here to raise the money, and nearly $2,000 has been collected already. Boucher said the team should leave here Aug. 13 if it plans to attend the tournament." (The team DID go, and came within one run of winning the championship, ending the season with a national second-place finish)
