Team up with Alaska historian Kathrine Ringsmuth, Harris revealed how the game’s history stretches back to Russia and Scandinavia, and shared how his own junior college days in Fairbanks were shaped by his host family and the Goldpanners’ fierce spirit. MLB Ambassador DJ Carrasco joined the festivities, honoring indigenous games like “Knock ‘em Down and Skin ‘ems” through his Native Nations initiative, bringing the past vividly to life. This special presentation was part of Fairbanks’ “Week of Dreams,” running through Saturday.
