In the first base coaches box for the 107th Midnight Sun Game (2012), this picture was taken around 11:45 pm. For those not familiar with the game, it is played every summer solstice at Growden Memorial Park in Fairbanks, Alaska. Because the sun is out for almost 24 hours a day, the game starts at about 10:30 at night and completes around 1:00 the next morning. No artificial lights are used during the playing of it. It is pretty amazing to look at the MLB alumni who have played in this game (including Tom Seaver and Dave Winfield). A lot of media outlets (ESPN, CNN, Sports Illustrated, etc...) say that is one of the top things in baseball to see. The Yankees did a feature on the 2012 game this year in one of their programs that I still need to get a copy of (how many times can you say you were in the Yankee Magazine?).
