The first night game at FYBA was played on October 2, 1970. The way I remember it, the lights were supposed to go up sometime during the season, but one delay lead to another, and then the season was over. So somebody came up with the idea to have an All-Star game once the lights were finally up. The lights were finally completed on Field #1 (now known as field #7) in late September 1970. So the very first night game played at FYBA was on October 2, 1970. At that time Little League was divided into a "National" League and "American" League just like the pros. The National League defeated the American League by a score of 6 - 4 in the first night game at FYBA. Joe Nuxhall was there and presented all of the players with a signed baseball.
