Baseball Under the Midnight Sun [New York Times] "In the first inning, a routine fly ball drifted above the left fielder, who, positioning himself just right in the grass, held up his mitt and then lost the ball in the sun. It was 10:40 p.m." The Alaska Goldpanners and the Kenai Oilers in the 99th annual Midnight Sun Baseball Game. Also, the all-time results.

Those are some great pictures of the game. It's like one of those evening games where the field is bathed golden for a few minutes before it gets dark... except instead of a few minutes, it's a few months.
