We saw baseball history yesterday in Baltimore, but certainly not in a good way. Heck, there’s really no other way to describe yesterday’s 8-2 win over the ChiSox aside from bizarre. For the first time in MLB history, a game was played with a paid attendance of 0. Never before had an MLB game been played that was not open to the public. But it was obviously done out of necessity.
There’s no point in re-hashing the reasons why, because we all know them. However the fact is that the Orioles provided Baltimore with a few hours respite from reality, that was probably very much needed.
