Night Game
A night game, also called a nighter, is a sporting event that takes place, completely or partially, after the local sunset. Depending on the sport, this can be done either with floodlights or with the usual low-light conditions. The term "night game" is typically used only in reference to sports traditionally held outdoors. Although indoor sporting events often take place after local sunset, these events are artificially lighted regardless of the time of day they take place. Baseball A baseball game was played under electric lighting in 1880, the year after Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. It was an experimental game between two department store teams, and it would take another fifty years before organized baseball would sanction night baseball. There were a couple of exhibition night baseball games in the early 1900s between organized baseball teams. One of them was in 1909, and the other was in 1927, but the games did not count in league standings. Even though the game ...

The Night Game (poem)
"The Night Game" is a poem written by Robert Pinsky. It was published as part of his book ''The Want Bone'' in 1990. The poem's title refers to baseball night games, alluding to Pinsky's love of the game. It is a love poem in which he uses baseball to describe a young romance. Overview The first few stanzas of the poem refer to Whitey Ford, Hall of Fame left-handed pitcher for the New York Yankees. Pinsky describes Ford, with his blond "halo"-like hair and the name "Ed Ford", as "aristocratic" in comparison to the "Italian, Jewish or Colored". Later in the poem, he says "Possibly I believed only gentiles / And blonds could be left-handed". In the final stanza of the poem, Pinsky refers to another left-handed pitcher, "Even more gifted / Than Whitey Ford", that he devised during a date with a young girl. The left-hander alluded to is Sandy Koufax, Hall of Fame pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who, like Pinsky, is Jewish and who, as noted in the last line of the poem, di ...
