First Game Ever Played in Alaska Under Artificial Lights

"Alaska Goldpanners Add to Their Laurels"
Rawlings Magazine, 1964

    The Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks had to settle for second place in the 1964 National Baseball Congress Tournament but again set a new record for team and individual awards with a total of 16.

    Organized in 1960 by H.A. (Red) Boucher, owner of Pan-Alaska, Inc., Rawlings dealer in Fairbanks, the Goldpanners made their first appearance in the NBC Tournament in 1962 and surprised everyone by finishing second and by setting a new NBC record in winning 12 team and individual awards.  A year later the Alaskan entry won third place honors but upped their awards to a new high of 13.

    In each of the last three tournament, the Goldpanners, attractively attired in Rawlings uniforms, have been named the "Best Dressed" team of the tournament.

   Other honors accorded them during one or more of these years have been Non- Pro Team of the Year, Most Aggressive Team, Most Popular Team, Team Traveling Farthest, Best Young Team, Best Offensive Team and Best Defensive Team.   Individual awards have been for Most Valuable Player, Most Popular Player, Sportsmanship, Leading Hitter, Leading Pitcher and Home Run Leader.  In addition ten of the Goldpanners have been named to the NBC All American Teams and Red Boucher was named NBC Manager of the Year in 1962.

    The Goldpanners played a 40-game schedule in 1964, flying in teams from the United States for most of these games.


TRAVELING - The Goldpanners, now set up at the Town House Motel in Wichita, Kans., while playing for the National Baseball title, found various means to relax while traveling across the western states.  Bob Maxwell, left, followed the trip with a road map while Mike Paul, standing, would kibitz the card games in the center of the bus.  Curt Motten can be seen facing the camera while John Herbst watches intently while sitting on the armrest across the aisle."

Rick Monday

Two-time All Star, All-Time Hero

"30 years ago — on April 25, 1976, in the fourth inning at Dodger Stadium — he refused to stand by and allow two protesting punks to burn the American flag on the outfield grass. “I don’t know anybody who wouldn’t have done the same thing, if they were in the same position,” Monday was saying the other day from Los Angeles, where he threw out the ceremonial first pitch Sunday as the Dodgers celebrated the anniversary of his heroics with a video tribute. “I’m just glad I was close enough to do something about it.'’
