"Almost 5,000 people were present for the start of the
105th Fairbanks
Midnight Sun Baseball Classic at 10:30 p.m. Monday,
and more than 1,000 were still there this morning at
sunrise, 4-1/2 hours later, after the game -- played
without lights -- stretched into the 15th inning at
Growden Park. The weather was ideal, and nobody -- not
even tourists -- complained to the
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner about mosquitoes. See a
Newsminer slideshow from the game
here. "
