Could they have actually surfaced a submarine at the North Pole? Would have thought the ice too thick.

Edit: thanks for the update. Apparently it happened more than once.

On an overcast day the Batter's Eye is entirely white, a pitcher's park if ever I've seen one.

Nope. Hell no. Like, I know it's super thick ice and whatnot, but screw that! I'm not going out on that ice! My thalassophobia alone says fuck that. No way in hell.

Must have had some really good gloves for batting.
