USS Seadragon (SSN-484) was a Skate-class nuclear submarine that surfaced through the icecap at the North Pole on September 15, 1960. For recreation, the sailors laid out a softball diamond that used the marker for the North Pole as the pitcher’s mound. When a sailor successfully cleared the bases, he circumnavigated the world.

Don’t bother clicking on the USNI link; that’s just a post on EGGS without any further information than what is quoted on Neatorama.

However, the other link is quite interesting when you’re interested in submarines:

French Quarter poles are ‘quite old,’ New Orleans police say ahead of the Super Bowl. Don’t topple them.

A New Orleans hotel does famously “grease” its poles for Mardi Gras but authorities did not say if they’ll follow suit as Eagles fans descend onto the city for the Super Bowl.
