Ok..I will go for it:
This is not from memory:
The first night game in Major League history occurred on May 24, 1935, when the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 at Crosley Field. The last non-expansion/non-relocated team to play a home game at night was the Chicago Cubs. They played their first official night game in Wrigley Field on August 9, 1988, and beat the New York Mets 6-4.

Night baseball was first tried at Fort Wayne, Ind. in 1883.
The first night baseball game under permanent lights was played on May 2, a Western League game in Des Moines, IA, against Wichita.
The first night game in MLB was on May 24, 1935, when the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 at Crosley Field. President Franklin Roosevelt threw the light switch to the historic first Major League night game from the White House six hundred miles away.
