fedoradude > Dogsled mockup in the Kenai Visitor's Center similar to the type used in 1925 in the famed serum run to Nome, also known as the "Great Race of Mercy." This serum run resulted when a diphtheria epidemic threatened Nome, especially the Inuit children who had no immunity to the "white man's disease," and the nearest quantity of antitoxin was found to be in Anchorage. Now they do a re-enactment competition of this run every year in Alaska and the finish line is in Nome on Front Street.

fedoradude > The ball was delivered underhand by the hurler (pitcher in modern terms).... Most interestingly, base ball in the Victorian Era was designed to be a hitting game for the enjoyment of the cranks (fans in modern terms). Therefore, the batsman or stryker would request where he wanted the pitch to be (high, low or fair) and the hurler was expected to put it there for the stryker to be able to hit it. To do otherwise, was considered ungentlemanly and would result in 1 warning. After the 2nd warning, the stryker was awarded first base.
