Strange Orioles- White Sox Game
Because of the riots in Baltimore, the Orioles and the White Sox will play a game tomorrow afternoon with no fans allowed to attend. I assume MLB is afraid of fans going beserk during play. To my knowledge, this is the first time in major league history that a regulation game will be played to an empty stadium. It will be kind of eerie for the players not to hear any sounds after a strike out, home run, or other key play. What a strange game it will be.

Pity they couldn't just play in Bowie or something so fans could still see the game. Would make a heck of an unusual double header if the Baysox were at home, as well. |

Barry- During the late 1980's, the Braves came REAL close to playing for nobody...several times. You could sit where ever you wanted. Coincidentally, the Braves are uprooting from a lower-income area to a high-middle-class neighborhood...possibly avoiding that kind of game for the 'Baltimore' type reason.

My memory was a little off: On September 8, 1975, the Braves lost to the Astros 9-6 in front of 737 hard-core Atlanta fans. That's the lowest attendance for a Braves game I have found so far.

A score card from that game would be something to have. I'd guess some were printed up in advance, obviously none were sold, although the press may have had access to some....wondering?
