This Is What An Empty Orioles Baseball Game Looks Like (Photo)

Baseball

As you know, due to the Baltimore riots, the Chicago White Sox – Baltimore Orioles game was closed to the public today. The end result was a grouping of fans outside of Camden Yards along with nobody outside of press and a few scouts inside the gates.

Obviously, it broke the Major League Baseball record for the lowest attendance in history, though technically you really wonder if it should go down in the books that way considering it was a closed event. There were plenty of baseball fans willing to attend considering the masses outside the stadium.

Alas, inside it was dead silent and it looked like something out of an apocalypse, assuming there were still baseball players alive and the stadium wasn’t completely overgrown.

Either way, it was really weird:

While the look is really strange, even more odd is the lack of sound. Everything from the game action – like the popping of the glove or the crack of the bat – were enhanced. But the home run hit by Chris Davis? The fancy plays made on the infield? You could only hear the faint sound of applause from outside the stadium.

Just strange, no matter how you slice it.
