Home Run chase turns eyes to Fairbanks Nobody in our organization had a harsh word to say about Barry Bonds, Dennis said. He was exemplary and he was just an average college kid. He had a tremendous sense of humor, too. ![]() Bill Lee (66-67) Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame Class of 2008

2007 REMEMBRANCE "Sam Suplizio easily qualifies as one of the most decent, most charming, most engaging people I have met in all my years in and around baseball. I remember Sam from his travels to Fairbanks and the Goldpanners subsequent trips through Grand Junction, but I also had the occasion to see him on a regular basis at Winter Meetings and College Coaches conventions in later years. He was truly one of a kind. He had quite a career in baseball with all he accomplished and the people he touched along the way, even as his own blossoming career was unfortunately cut short by injury." - Allen Simpson, Founder of Baseball America Stu Rothman Service honors military historian, photographer Stu Rothman

FIXED PAYPAL BUTTONS - SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE "I've been lucky
enough to attend many World Series, All Star Games and Opening
Days but the Midnight Sun Game is in a league of it's own." 2008 Midnight Sun Game Starting
Pitcher:
5/8/8: Donny Baarns (07 Broadcaster) Picked up by the Visalia Oaks to join broadcasting team for the 2008 season! 2007 Goldpanners broadcast partner Jimmy still slated to return to Fairbanks at this point. Dietz: "Cuba is the Best
Team We Will Ever Play" First Game
Ever Played in Alaska Under Artificial Lights 5/6/8:
Playing like Gold - Yuba college cruises to sixth-straight win
"The win was the 49ers' 10th in their last 12 games. "They're playing really
well," said Yuba coach Tim Gloyd. "I'd like to start the season right now." 5/5/8: Dave Winfield (71-72) Allan Simpson: Is Winfield Following Kingman? (1972) "So in only 12 official at-bats this season, Winfield is hitting .500 and has slugged three home runs. That's ahead of the pace Kingman established in '69 when he clubbed seven home runs in a total of 64 times at bat. "We've known all along what Winfield's capable of doing with the bat," said manager Jim Dietz "and that's why we've tried to work him into the lineup occasionally." "He'll play more and more in the outfield as the season progresses, but whether he'll ever become a full-time outfielder, it's hard to say at this time." - The Answer? Um, yes. 5/4/8: The Sporting News: Ex-Goldpanners Seaver and Frisella Strike it Rich with New York Mets (1967) "Seaver and Frisella recall happily their days in Alaska with the Goldpanners. "Alaska is something else," said Seaver. "You can't realize what a magnificient place it is unless you have been there. And it's a lot different than most people picture it. I can remember waking up one night at 3 o'clock. I saw the sun coming through the windows and my first thought was that I'd overslept and blown my job." 1965 "the strongest pitching staff ever assembled in
Alaska" 5/4/8: Dave Gassner (00 MVP) Now Pitching For York Revolution "In early April, Gassner, who started 26 games for the Rochester Red Wings last season, signed on with the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League's Liberty Division. Shortly after agreeing to play the 2008 season with the Riversharks, Gassner packed his bags for the Pacific, signing on with a team in Taiwan and prompting Camden to release him. The move overseas didn't pan out for personal reasons, and Gassner returned to the states an Atlantic League free agent." (On same team as 1999 Panner Jason Aspito) 1964 Midnight Sun Game Pregame
5/3/8: Beau Mills (06) Mills looms large "On Monday, those walls were transformed from ball-swatting demons to harmless spectators by Cleveland Indians prospect Beau Mills. Mills hit a grand slam and a two-run homer to lift the Kinston Indians to a 10-5 Carolina League victory over Salem."

4/21/8: Lewis-Clark Sets NAIA Record with 51 inning scoreless pitching streak "In the second game, which saw LCSC earn its 40th win of the season for the 31st time in coach Ed Cheff's 32 seasons at helm, the Warriors used a six-run second inning to take an 7-0 lead. The impressive streak was continued by LCSC pitchers Michael Guerrero (07) and Blaine Hardy in the opener." 4/19/8: Ryan Garko (00) Garko exceeding expectations With a .314 batting average, 9 RBI's, .435 OBP, and 1 home run, it's hard to argue that Garko has been a reason why the team is struggling. Attending the 2008 Midnight Sun Game: Nick from "More Indie Than Your Cat," Covering the game for print and radio - "I want the ideas for stories to be good enough to put on the air. But one thing they all lack is a reflection. Why would I be telling the story of the Midnight Sun Game? Yes it is an interesting event, and maybe there are some unique players, but how does this game connect to the human experience. Is it Fairbanks attempt at recapturing something long lost since the good ole days? Is the game one of pure sport that doesnt have the pressure professional athletes have? If someone figures this one out, please give me a heads up so I can send an email and try to cover it while Im up there." (Are you planning on attending? Let us know! Is it for media? Let us help!) Partial List of Attendees (under construction):
4/16/8:
2008 Roster: Added
Ryan Scoma (UC-Davis) and
Justin Fitzgerald (UC-Davis)
4/15/8: Ty Van Burkleo (84) Van Burkleo hitting stride with A's ""He's probably my favorite hitting coach I've ever had," said Bobby Crosby (99), who went 9-for-29 (.310) with a home run and six RBIs in the first seven games of the trip. "He's just got a lot of energy, he's always really positive. ... He's great to work with." Van Burkleo, who played professionally for 14 years -- including five in Japan, where he was named the league's player of the year in 1988 -- but logged only 38 at-bats in the Majors, joined the A's after serving as the Angels' roving hitting instructor for the previous six years. Before that, he spent four years in the Diamondbacks organization." 4/13/8: Tim Gloyd - 49rs Double Their Fun "Zack Vawter-Scroggins has made the Yuba College baseball team all but unbeatable when he is on the mound. The freshman allowed one earned run in 8 2/3 innings to lead the 49ers (13-20, 8-11) to a 9-2 Bay Valley Conference victory at Solano on Saturday. Adrian Perez got the final out. It was their fourth win in five games. "He was outstanding," Yuba coach Tim Gloyd said of his young starter, who enduced five ground ball double plays." 4/13/8: Bobby Crosby (99) Crosby powers A's over Indians Bobby Crosby snapped Oakland's five-game homerless streak with a three-run blast in the seventh inning, just the second ball the A's have hit out in nine games.
4/8/8: New Hampshire Fisher Cats - Aaron Mathews (03), playing center field, served as leadoff hitter and promptly singled to start the game. Mathews got off to a great start last season and made the Eastern League All-Star Game. // Newcomer Brian Jeroloman (04), a catching prospect, batted second to give NH a lefty stick atop the lineup. He warmed up his bat with a kerosene heater before the game, then knocked in the Fishers' first run with an infield single in the fifth. 4/7/8:
Jason Aspito (99)
Not quite on Revolution's
level - "The chances of a guy making the club out of a tryout
are not great, but there are always guys who go to open tryouts and
show they do deserve a chance." One of those guys this time year ago
was Aspito. Out of pro ball at the start of 2007, by midseason
Aspito was an integral part of the Revs' lineup, before getting hurt
toward the end of the year. And it all started at a tryout camp.
"I was a six-year free agent, and nobody picked me up," Aspito said,
"and I didn't know if anyone knew I was available, (so) my dad said
'why don't you go to the Northern League tryouts.' So I fly down to
Tampa. 4/6/8: New York Times: Introduction to Fairbanks "Fairbanks is Alaska's second-largest city now, with a population of about 30,000 in the city limits and 82,000 in the greater metropolitan area, but it has never learned to put on airs. It sprawls, broad and flat, along big highways and the Chena. It's a friendly, easygoing town, but one where people still take gold and their independence seriously. " 4/5/8: David Gassner (00) ; Jason Phillips (96) Riverhawks sign ex-major leaguers "The Camden Riversharks completed three deals this week that bring eight seasons of combined Major League experience to the club. First baseman-catcher Jason Phillips, lefthanded starter Dave Gassner and outfielder Chris Walker agreed to terms and will join the Riversharks in 2008."
4/4/8: Brad Davis (03) Mudcats open 2008 campaign - "We're all here because we love this game," Mudcats catcher Brad Davis said. "We had five months off of not being able to play it. It's back. It's the season again. We're ready to have some real competition, have fans in the stands and ready to compete again."
4/4/8: Steve Mrowka (86) Baseball Head Coach Steve Mrowka Earns 100th Win at GW "Earlier this season, on Mar. 1, Mrowka also tallied his 500th career victory, with a 9-8 win against Yale. The North Carolina ('87) graduate is now 507-324-3 in his career, this being his 15th year overall."
4/3/8:
Defensive moves don't help Braves - Resop moved to left field
while left-hander Royce Ring (00) struck out Adam LaRoche,
but Resop returned to the mound to give up Nady's go-ahead single.
