OFFICIAL HATS - VARIOUS SIZES
The Goldpanners' team hat is one of the most famous domes in
baseball history. The design was established in late 1961,
employing, for production, the fledgling "New Era" hat company --
which has since become the leader in their field (much like the
Goldpanners program).

Dave Winfield, Future Hall of Famer (1973 Padres)
"He played for the Alaska Goldpanners. The Goldpanners were a collegiate
summer team. Players had to live with host families and did not receive
any monetary compensation so that they could remain NCAA eligible. Dave
Winfield got his first real taste of nightly, traveling baseball there."

CHARLIE COLE HALL OF FAME INTRODUCTION
AK ATTORNEY GENERAL COLE RECLAIMS GOLDPANNERS CHAIRMANSHIP AFTER 45 YEAR HIATUS
"The All-Time Greatest Fairbanksan" ; "Son of the Midnight Sun"
ESPN "Top Ten Baseball Must-See Events"
"Wrigley Field caved and installed lights back in 1988, but artificial illumination remains blissfully unnecessary during baseball season in Fairbanks. Only in Alaska."
"I was there! the 50/50 was $1200.00.I left after the 12th my friend had to work that morning. At 10.30pm when it started It was packed in there, standing room only. That was a highlight of my vacation up there. It was fun."
"The Goldpanners were the first to put Fairbanks on the Sporting map"
