Even with Camden Yards closed to public, fans found way to support O's

Kweisi Mfume found himself among a group of Orioles fans peering through the bars of Camden Yards, attempting to peek in on the first major league game without any paying crowd in baseball history.

The former U.S. Congressman and NAACP president has spent recent days trying to help bring a torn city together after unrest following the death of Freddie Gray. A national television interview brought him toward the ballpark, but he stayed to mingle with a group of about 50 Orioles fans who cheered the team to an 8-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox in front of a paid crowd of zero fans inside the ballpark.
