National League press release, 1938 January

 File — Box: 01, Folder: 10

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Correspondence between team executives, the Commissioner, and various electric companies. Topics of discussion include the scheduling of night games and rules that accompany them, attendance compared to day games, and types of lighting available. Certain issues arise due to night games, such as flash photography blinding the batter, therefore a new resolution of no flash photographs was passed. Information on the "Great Canadian Forest Fire" of September 1950, caused afternoon games to be played with lights on in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
