For the first time in 40 years, the Detroit Tigers played a home opener at night.
That wasn't even close to the most unusual aspect of Monday's game, as the only form of non-player cheers in a fanless Comerica Park came from sidewalk spectators clinging to the metal fence beyond the center field concourse.
Then again, the Tigers (2-2) didn't give them much to celebrate about in a 14-6 loss against the Kansas City Royals.
