Take Me Out To The Ballgame?

Oh wait, not in Baltimore. The Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox played in front of an empty stadium this afternoon.

With an 8-2 win over the White Sox the Orioles didn't exactly having a cheering crowd this afternoon as the game was played in an empty park. With zero attendance it obviously broke the Orioles game-low attendance of 655 people back in August of 1972.

But, for good reason?

According to CNN, "as protests and occasional violent unrest rocked Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody, the Orioles took an unprecedented step in American sports history by barring fans for the final game of their series against the White Sox. The first two games were rescheduled for next month".

It's sad that society has come to this.
