Organizational History

Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks and the Alaska League Through the Years

Fall 1959 - University of Alaska basketball coach Ray Wheeler meets with Fairbanks newcomer H.A. (Red) Boucher about sponsoring a team in the North of the Range League.

Spring 1960 - New North of the Range League team debuts as Pan Alaska Goldpanners. Local players are buoyed by five freshman from Coach Frank Sancet's University of Arizona team. Among those is pitching stalwart George Mies, a resident of Alaska to this day.

Jackson Pic

August 1962 - Boucher takes his team to the National Baseball Congress Tournament in Wichita, KS. Tournament founder Hap Dumont seeds Panners 33rd in a 32-team field,
recognizing the promotional aspect of a team from Alaska. Panners astound all finishing second to Wichita Dreamliners. Team members build what is now Growden Park.

Spring 1963 - Boucher realizes to reach greater goals he must have community support and forms an eight-man Board of Directors to help raise funds and awareness. Among those who agree is Bill Stroecker of First National Bank, who still serves as team President and also attorney Charlie Cole, who still serves as team counsel. Others of major importance to the rise of the team included Tom Miklautsch, Wally Burnett and C.W. "Bill" Snedden, publisher of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Team name is changed to Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks.

June 1963 - Wichita Dreamliners become the first "outside" team to visit the Goldpanners and take part in the annual Midnight Sun Game.

July 1963 - Don Dennis of Grand Junction, CO, contacts Boucher about scheduling the Goldpanners in the Colorado city en route to Wichita. Contact came about when Dennis was visiting Basin League games in Winner, S.D., and picked up a Sunday Omaha World Herald, which had one paragraph story about Wichita team playing in something called the Midnight Sun Game in Alaska.

August 1963 - Goldpanners stop at Grand Junction during the team's first barnstorming trip to Wichita. Grand Junction manager Sam Suplizio joins the Panners for the national
tournament and wins the Most Valuable Player award as Panners finish third.

Egan Pic

June 1964 - Grand Junction Eagles become second outside team to play in Midnight Sun Game. Growden Park Stadium is dedicated by Alaska's first governor, Bill Egan. Growden is outfitted with a lighting system and a Grand Junction-Goldpanners game becomes the first lighted outdoor sporting event in Alaska history. Grand Junction's visit was on the heels of the Good Friday Earthquake and a freak mid-June snowstorm in Fairbanks.

August 1964- Strong Goldpanners team just misses again in Wichita with runnerup finish. Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver is a mainstay on Panners' staff, but suffers successive defeats in visit to Grand Junction when a then unhearalded Frank Carbajal is imported to oppose Seaver.

June 1965 - Rick Monday, an outfielder on the Goldpanners' 1964 team, makes history as the first player selected in the first ever Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Goldpanners place fourth at national tournament.

August 1966 - Goldpanners represent USA in World Tournament in Honolulu and claim world title by beating Kumagai-Gumi, the Japanese champion. While on the island, Goldpanners also win Hawaii Invitational Tournament.

June 1967 - Japanese champion Kumagai-Gumi visits Fairbanks for eight-game Midnight Sun series. Fairbanks wins 7 of 8, but loses the annual Sun Game. Two games are played at Mulcahy Park in Anchorage. MSG reports record 5,200 in attendance.

August 1967 - Chena River floods and Growden Park Stadium is destroyed. Grandstand and press box under construction is not completed. Fairbanks was due to host the Babe Ruth World Series but due to flood the event was relocated to Anchorage.

September 1967 - Following the devastating flood Boucher, now the Mayor of Fairbanks, contacts Dennis in Colorado about coming to Fairbanks to act as the chief operating
officer of the team while doubling as a sports editor at a new newspaper, Jessen's Daily. Dennis arrives in Fairbanks the day after Thanksgiving.

Spring 1968 - Major reconstruction of Growden Park is undertaken. The field was leveled by the flood and all equipment lost. Team records were also lost at another location.
Board member Barney Kopf heads the rebuilding effort.

July 1968 - Dennis agrees with Anchorage resident Joe Keenan that the 1968 Alaska NBC Tournament can be staged in Anchorage. Only two games are scheduled for the best-of-three series and the Panners pound a group of local all-stars. Purpose, however, was to raise funds and awareness for a competative Anchorage team and 5,000 turn out for the day.

August 1968 - Goldpanners make 17-day, 7-city goodwill tour of Japan.

June 1969 - Anchorage Glacier Pilots take the field. Chapman College coach Paul Deese heads the effort.

August 1969 - Glacier Pilots squeeze past Goldpanners and win Alaska's first NBC championship. In semifinals Pilots get only one hit out of the infield (a two-run single
by Chris Chambliss) but still prevail 8-7.

Spring 1970 - Boucher steps aside as Goldpanners manager and is honored at the annual Midnight Sun Game. Residents of Fairbanks place thousands of signatures on a 40-foot scroll in his honor. Lyle Olsen of San Diego State is named field manager and Jim Dietz of the University of Oregon is enlisted as assistant coach.

August 1970 - Olsen resigns as Goldpanners manager and Dietz is elevated to the position.

November 1970 - Boucher is elected Alaska's first Lieutenant Governor (name change for the office from Secretary of State).

August 1971 - Anchorage wins second NBC title, edging Goldpanners 5-4. A freak bases-loaded play secures the game for the Pilots, who featured future Cy Young winner
Randy Jones in the game. Future Hall of Fame player Dave Winfield pitches and plays the outfield for the Goldpanners.

July 1972 - Goldpanners travel to Haarlem, Holland, to take part in Honkbal Tournament, featuring the Cuba National Team. Cuba squeezes in eighth inning run to beat Goldpanners and goes on to win the tournament.

August 1972 - Goldpanners break through under Dietz and win first NBC championship as the team wins 30 of 37 games after Holland trip. Championship game is won on seventh inning solo home run by catcher Steve Swisher of Ohio University. University of San Diego's Kerry Dineen is tourney MVP.

August 1973 - Goldpanners go back-to-back in Wichita with a 10-6 win over Liberal, KS in title game. BYU's Lee Iorg is named tourney MVP and he, Santa Clara's Gene Delyon, and Oklahoma's Kenny King blast home runs in the rout. After Wichita the Panners win International Tournament in Kamloops, B.C., Canada.

October 1973 - Dennis, Deese and Fairbanks attorney Ed Merdes visit Kenai service clubs and elected officials with pitch for a third Alaska team. Getting good response Deese

Second baseman Jeff Ellison of San Diego Mesa blasts a fourth inning grand slam home run to set the pace. Outfielder Steve Kemp of the University of Southern California is named tourney MVP.

September 1974 - Panners repeat as champions of the international tournament in Kamloops. Pitcher Floyd Bannister of Arizona State pulls the improbable feat of winning three games in one day on the final day of the Kamloops event to secure the title. Powerful team wins 62 games while breaking more than 100 team records and hitting 135 home runs.

August 1975 - Goldpanners are beaten in the national championship game by Boulder, CO, 6-4. Team goes three-in-a-row at International Tournament in Kamloops. Stanford lefty
John Yandle in named MVP at Kamloops.

November 1975 - A meeting among Dennis, Merdes and Alaska State Fair manager John Hale in Fairbanks leads to the formation of the fourth Alaska League team to be known as the Valley Green Giants of Palmer. Sen. Jan Koslosky of Palmer is only investor outside of Fairbanks.

June 1976 - Green Giants are managed by UCLA's Gary Adams and play on home field at state fairgrounds only two months after start of construction. Hermon Brothers Construction rescues wobbly effort and field is named in its honor.

July 1976 - Goldpanners win the first National Invitational Tournament in Pueblo, CO, by defeating no one less than the fledgling Valley Green Giants. Giants had to dispose of
Colorado heavyweights Boulder and Grand Junction to make final game.

August 1976 - Goldpanners defeat Pilots in classic 10-inning, 2-0, NBC championship game at Wichita. Panners' Greg Harris outduels Pilots' Dan Boone in a true "game for the ages" as both had two-hit shutouts through nine innings. Harris is named MVP of the national en route to 15-win season, still the record for a Panner righthander. Strong post-Wichita team is shocked in Kamloops and finishes second.

August 1977 - Goldpanners reach 7th consecutive national championship game but lose in 11 innings to the Kenai Oilers. The loss came despite having beating Kenai for the Alaska League title, Alaska State Championship title, and NBC regional title in Pueblo, CO. Kamloops changes dates of international tournament so Goldpanners split squad makes a three-province road trip and claims the Kamloops tourney to cap it off.

September 1977 - Alaska League teams agree to bypass Wichita in 1978 with Panners and Pilots joining to host a new tournament, dubbed World Crown Tournament by Pilots' GM Jack Brushert.

Tournament, which features an international field. Washington State University Coach Charles "Bobo" Brayton leads Goldpanners split squad into Kamloops event but team falls
short.

August 1979 - Second World Crown Tournament is a huge success on the field but week-long bad weather in Anchorage spells financial doom. Brushert and Joe Armstrong of Anchorage also with Dennis and Les Gunderson of Fairbanks sign bank note to pay off nearly $35,000 in losses for the two years of the tournament. Pilots and Kenai withdraw from the Alaska League however Pilots and Panners continue to work together to retire debt.

September 1979 - Lack of local support causes Goldpanners to withdraw underwriting support of Palmer team. With the folding of the Valley Green Giants the Alaska League, under Commissioner Emmitt Wilson, admits new members the Cook Inlet Bucs of Anchorage and North Pole Nicks.

regarded as the strongest in Goldpanners history.

September 1980 - North Pole caps off its first season by going to Canada and winning the International Tournament.
