1910 Comiskey Park hosted the first night game ever played in an MLB ballpark, as Chicago amateur clubs the Logan Squares and Rogers Parkers played before 20,000 fans (or 3,500, depending on accounts). Twenty arc lights were strung up along the perimeter of the field to accomplish the feat, delivering 137,000 candlepower of light. The system was the brainchild of inventor George F. Cahill. The first official night game in MLB history took place in 1935, at Crosley Field in Cincinnati.
