No fans.    I've been to minor league games with less than a thousand in attendance and it was kind of odd(being able to hear the 3B coach shouting instructions for one) but that was a 6000-7000 capacity.   I've even been to Arena football games with less than thousand with 10k capacity.    But I can't imagine the oddity of BAL/CWS today.

I imagine it will be similar to Cleveland Indians games in the '70's when they would have 1,500 fans in an 80,000 seat stadium.

I assume they announced players/line-ups and had running commentary during the games in Cleveland.   When there's no one to announce to, will they do that in Baltimore?   Or will it be like a pick-up game in the cornfields of Nebraska?

Maybe the players will riot, just so they can connect with their fans....

I think the players should agree on a made up box score and not even play the game. who would know?

It could be faked, like the NASA moon landings in 1969.

Live shot?  I like how they've got the Jumbotron working.  Do the players get their walk up music?

Would they bring in the usual number of stadium workers?

No lineups at the beer stands.... no popcorn sold today!

But they save a lot of money on post-game clean-up.

Guess the fans have better things to do.

Some of those kids have good arms.   Too bad blacks don't like baseball.
