Alaska Baseball League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alaska Baseball League (ABL) is an amateur summer baseball league, with six teams located in four Alaskan cities. Most players are from the college ranks.
The famous Midnight Sun Game, held in Fairbanks on the longest day of each year, is one of the highlights of the Alaska Baseball League season.
In the past, the ABL has sent its top teams to compete at the National Baseball Congress World Series, with many champions coming from the ABL.
