whats wild is that I live 15 minutes from this place, played on this field 1000 times growing up, drive past it during work all the time, and had no idea that they mhad a team or did any of this.
This is so cool. Huge props to the owner who came up with this idea. That’s some next level thinking outside the box, and it looks like his goal of bringing in spectators was accomplished!
yea, very good idea if you want to fuck up your eyes: "Black light," which emits long-wave ultraviolet (UVA) radiation, is harmful to the eyes because it can cause damage to various ocular structures over time. While black lights are often used in entertainment and diagnostic applications, prolonged or intense exposure can lead to both acute and chronic eye problems. **Key points and supporting studies:** 1. **Oxidative Stress and Retinal Damage:** - A study in *Photochemistry and Photobiology* indicated that UVA radiation can induce oxidative stress in retinal cells, leading to cell damage and contributing to conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
2. **Corneal Damage:** - Research published in the *Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science* journal found that UVA exposure can cause photokeratitis, an acute corneal inflammation similar to sunburn, leading to pain, redness, and temporary vision impairment. 3. **Lens Damage and Cataracts:** - The *Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery* published findings that suggest prolonged exposure to UVA radiation can accelerate the formation of cataracts, a condition where the lens becomes cloudy and vision is impaired. 4. **DNA Damage:** - A study in *Molecular Vision* demonstrated that UVA radiation can cause direct DNA damage in ocular cells, leading to mutations and potentially increasing the risk of ocular cancers over long periods. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to limit exposure to black lights, especially for extended durations. Protective eyewear designed to block UVA radiation and ensuring that black light sources are used appropriately and safely can help protect the eyes from potential harm.
Here in Fairbanks we have the best baseball experience i think. Midnight sun game all under natural sunlight no artificial lighting. A true sight to behold.
Nah, let the MLB have their stodgy games with a fanbase buried in their phones. Support minor league teams (especially the very few independent ones left) & have the zany games there!

@@superxnatrl1941The dying sport needs all the weirdos it can get to save it from irrelevancy. Even cricket is growing enough in the US that it's likely going to eat baseball's lunch eventually.
@@Hawken707 Exactly. The lighting tech back then would have been pretty much impossible to light an entire field like this, and blacklight filters over the existing arc lamps (metal halide, etc,) would melt under the heat generated and still not put out enough light.
Not only have I watched this as a spectator, but I have PLAYED in those conditions. There used to be a Cosmic Zone in Virginia Beach Virginia back in the mid 90s. They held games once a month, where various teams could participate. Place had batting cages, billiard halls, laser tag, bowling, a pair of arcades and some other activities as well. Fun times. Long in my past..... Edit: They also had Cosmic batting in the cages every so often.... along with cosmic bowling....
This seems like so much fun for people of all ages from kids to grandparents everyone can go out to one place and enjoy each other's company while watching a Baseball Game in the most unique way.
This bit of news was like the best surprise ever. I love it. Clicking on this video is equivalent to waking up Xmas morning to find Santa came and left the biggest gift for little ol me. Baseball is a game and this smart guy just put the fun back into the baseball game. Awesome.
Why’s that? On paper it works like a charm, that’s why he did it. It’s not like it’s some new thing, it just took money. We’ve all been to cosmic bowling or videogame arcades like this so why not baseball?
It isn't that it wouldn't work on paper, it is the question of how entertaining it looks on paper. There are MANY ideas that are originally scrapped, but then revived in various forms after someone sees something similar in action and thinks "why not".
Regular golf as well. have helped host a Day/night outing several times. Use "glow in the dark" golf balls. glow sticks for Tee box and greens and in the hole. It is a blast to watch the sky and see light flying everywhere. One time even had some people stopping on the road wondering what was going on.
It will be amazing when these guys get to tell their robot grandchildren about how their human grandpa used to play for the “glow leagues” back in the 20s!
first, this is amazing. i want to play ball like this before i die. second, im bringing my UV meter, just to see how much those multi thousand watt lamps are cranking
I love that people are finding ways to make Baseball fun again. I've paid more attention to the sport in the last couple years than I have since the early 90s.
It will be perfected in a dome . In the near future everything will be dark and the colors will be brilliant. Can’t wait to see it when it all comes together!
I could see them doing this for the Home Run Derby for sure. With pitchers throwing 100+ and the ball coming off the bat at over 110 mph, it will NEVER happen for actual games.
@@andrewalden8364 of course it wouldnt be a real game that counted towards a teams record. But promotional games like the derby and all star game need an injection of excitement pretty badly. Gonna be forgotten like the pro bowl if things don't change.
That's crazy, I love it, closest we got to that is cosmic bowling and once a year we have a cosmic dance at a local venue which the DJ sets up, he tours around from town to town.....he must make a bundle as he's booked a year in advance.
Shit like this is how they get me back to watching baseball. I stopped being an MLB fan after the 94/95 MLB strikes (lockouts). I thought it was childish for both sides, pro baseball just wasn't the same after, and I stopped watching all baseball. This shit is awesome and I love that it's college kids and younger less money grubbing players. Good on them!!
Love seeing someone have a great idea for the game. Thank you to organizations like the Chili Peppers & Savannah Bananas. Y’all keep the national pastime chugging along. Here’s to another 150 years of baseball!
Minor League Ballparks do it right. Did you see the quality meat on the grill? I bet it’s affordable too. I live in Cincinnati. We paid for the Reds and Bengals stadiums with our tax dollars, and then they rob us on concessions and high ticket prices. The Reds will never be good until they get an eccentric billionaire to buy the team. The current owners only care about turning a bigger profit. Cincinnati would be better off without them.
That's a helluva lot of UV light. I hope everyone is wearing sunscreen and eye protection. Or there's gonna be a spike in skin cancer and cataracts around this town in a few decades.
This is awesome. They do this at a bowling alley near me after 10pm on weekends-but i didn’t even know you could do this in a large area. This is is giving me some ideas for sure.
I think this is one of the great things about Baseball, It has so many tiers of pro and semi pro play that you can have fantastic events like this in the lower tiers.
Blacklights were very common in the 70's. Most teenagers would have them in their rooms along with florescent posters. It added a very cool atmosphere to your room for sure.
It looks freaking awesome!! That said, I question how safe it is to your vision. Your eyes don’t register actual UV light. What you see is violet/blue light which is produced along with the true UV. Your eyes stay dilated and let in much, much more UV rays. It’s similar to wearing sunglasses that aren’t actually UV filters. Your pupils dilate due to reduced brightness, so your retinas get blasted with copious UV. So wearing cheap, possibly not UV sunglasses, is much worse than no glasses.
It’s an easy fix for the seam issue: tennis ball style purple seams. It contrasts the night perfectly while still being visible against the yellow ball. The reason I would not make them blue or brown is because it would be too bright (for brown) or make the ball nearly invisible (blue). Purple sits right in the sweet spot where it can be seen how the ball spins.
Such a good idea. So cool. I really hope this gets traction and all kinds of clubs do this. New aspect thays for sure. Super smart to do that ... really cool.
Two things: First I love how even the umpires are in on it with the arm sleeves. Second, would love to see this as Game 8 of the World Series at the Field of Dreams every year. Would be insanely epic.
Cosmic baseball looks like something out of the movie Tron.
That's it!!! I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out. You nailed it!
oh yes, my child
Probably because those light will slowly make you go blind..
Beat me to it👍🏼. This give me big time TRON vibes.
@@lodden1119so will the sun if you stare directly into it 😅
Seriously this needs to be televised. This is awesome.
yep! like everyone else is saying... MLB needs to this during the All-Star weekend & the HR derby.
They might need some really expensive cameras
YEEEES!!!
We need a Savanna Bananas VS Tri-City Chili Peppers game, Cosmic Baseball 2.
Yea Banana Ball Rules But still using the black lights
That would be a cosmic match up indeed.
Just thinking that. Banana ball and this would be awesome.
best comment all time
I was just thinking of that
"Guys i think i finally figured it out! The blurns are loaded. The count is 3 blurns and 2 anti-blurns. And the in-field blurn rule is in effect."
Except for the word "blurn", that was complete gibberish
You think they have the 7th inning grope?
Epic reference
Multiball!
I always call it blurnsball 😂
I see this and I am transported back to the late 80s-early 90s, in a good way.
😉
Announcer: Max Headroom!
Is there a bad way? I'd give quite a bit to go back to the 90s.
The stadium is missing a loaded-bong concession stand.
@@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 same. fuck the 80's. So overrated
MLB needs to do this in the HR derby and all star game
Just hr derby
Is doubtful lawyers and insurance nightmare
Yesss
Preseason Spring training scrimmages
Abunxh of drunk fans in a massive stadium with the lights turned off? What could go wrong…one person trips and hits their head it’s all over.

Wtfffffff so how often and where can we find a time to go
Dude get out and walk around lol
Advertising needs to be ramped up
I heard you got fired bro
This is so cool. Huge props to the owner who came up with this idea. That’s some next level thinking outside the box, and it looks like his goal of bringing in spectators was accomplished!

Exactly I never knew about this and the team awesome thing I was so excited to see this not in real life but on video

how did we make it out of the 80’s-90’s without somebody already thinking this up?
they need to give that guy a raise.
the views on this probably gave him a raise already.

Blacklight Baseball
Yes . That is what it should be called . Fluorescent dyes and lots of Blacklights create this glow .
Love seeing someone have a great idea for the game. Thank you to organizations like the Chili Peppers & Savannah Bananas. Y’all keep the national pastime chugging along. Here’s to another 150 years of baseball!

That's a helluva lot of UV light. I hope everyone is wearing sunscreen and eye protection. Or there's gonna be a spike in skin cancer and cataracts around this town in a few decades.
This is awesome. They do this at a bowling alley near me after 10pm on weekends-but i didn’t even know you could do this in a large area. This is is giving me some ideas for sure.
Please don’t give the Nike/Fanatic any ideas!! The city connects are already bad enough
Detroit and Bostons are ok
Boston is ugly. Pittsburgh is awesome!
That looks AWESOME!!!
I could see this as a nationwide sport someday!
I don't think this is safe
This is SO COOL. Imagine how much time, money and work that was invested without knowing if it would work. Great job everyone!
pretty cool idea
bet they could so soccer too but i don't know what toll that would have on the eyes if exposed to black light for extended periods
What a crazy awesome idea!!! I’d travel from the west coast of Canada to watch this!
If they had played baseball in Tron, this is what it would've looked like
I think we really need blackput football, basketball and hockey too. This is fantastic!
Looks like fun for both the spectators and participants!
This is amazing - I just have one issue, the UV lights almost definitely harm eyesight at such amplitude.
UV and blue lights make it hard for the eyes to focus. Any trouble dealing with it after an amount of time?
I think this is one of the great things about Baseball, It has so many tiers of pro and semi pro play that you can have fantastic events like this in the lower tiers.
Blacklights were very common in the 70's. Most teenagers would have them in their rooms along with florescent posters. It added a very cool atmosphere to your room for sure.
Every sport should have games like this. Such a cool idea.
This makes baseball actually fun to watch
That is pretty cool. I couldn't do that because Black Lights mess with my eyes and give me a massive migraine.
This is way more entertaining than regular baseball.
The cloud of glow-in-the-dark dust coming off the ball at 4:06 is amazing
I love anything related to fluorescence, this idea is an easy win, no surprise that everybody loved it!
It looks freaking awesome!!
That said, I question how safe it is to your vision. Your eyes don’t register actual UV light. What you see is violet/blue light which is produced along with the true UV.

Your pupils dilate due to reduced brightness, so your retinas get blasted with copious UV. So wearing cheap, possibly not UV sunglasses, is much worse than no glasses.
this looks so incredibly fun pure 90s vibes this is a million dollar idea i hope someone from the mlb watches this
Ok, this is the coolest way to literally spice up the game and to give it something new, if we had this in my area, Mid-Tennessee, I would go.
That is so cool and very creative!
This is a neat concept even though I'm not much of a baseball fan, I do like this. Vey inventive.
Great to see an original idea. Just seems fun.Even people that don't like baseball might enjoy this.Great video all the best.
Very cool. I bet that is insane in person. How dangerous is prolonged exposure to powerful UV lights?
This cosmic baseball looks really cool!!
It’s an easy fix for the seam issue: tennis ball style purple seams. It contrasts the night perfectly while still being visible against the yellow ball. The reason I would not make them blue or brown is because it would be too bright (for brown) or make the ball nearly invisible (blue). Purple sits right in the sweet spot where it can be seen how the ball spins.
They would need to make balls specifically for this instead of just choosing the balls in the dust. That is the reason the seams aren't showing.
Such a good idea.
So cool.
I really hope this gets traction and all kinds of clubs do this.
New aspect thays for sure.
Super smart to do that ... really cool.
