Orioles/White Sox Empty Stadium Game

[fan_since79]

Baltimore scored six runs in the first inning, lead 7-0 in the 4th.

 

Previous record for lowest attendance at a major league game was 6 fans, in an 1882 game between the Troy (NY) Trojans and the Worcester (Mass.) Ruby Legs.

Amazing how surreal this looks. Oh to be one of the stadium workers or photographers roaming the stands in the empty stadium.

I'm disappointed.

 

I was expecting you to say this WAY sooner.

that was very funny.

yeah -- one of my co-workers caught a bit of the game over the lunch hour and said that the announcers sounded as if they were doing pbp for the PGA or  a tennis match.

 

I still don't get this empty stadium deal....I think they could have simply moved the game to a 1 pm start, let the fan attend and everything would have been fine.

 

I think some of the concern was that law enforcement personnel were not available for security since they were otherwise engaged.......
