OT: Chicago White Sox at Baltimore Orioles Closed To Public

[Source]

The last game of the Chicago White Sox at Baltimore Orioles series will begin Wednesday at 2:05 pm and will be closed to the public which will be a first in MLB history. The previous record for lowest attendance at a MLB game was September 28, 1882 when the Worchester (MA) Ruby Legs hosted and lost to the Troy (NY) Trojans 4-1. A total of six fans showed up for the game. Both teams left the National League at the end of the season. Some of the Ruby Legs wound up on the Philadelphia Phillies in their inaugural year in MLB the following season.

In 1966,Yankees announcer,Red Barber,was fired for directing the cameraman to show all the empty seats at Yankee Stadium for a late September Monday afternoon game for the 10th place Yankees.

Actually that picture reminded me of a Mets home game in late September.

Have the Yankees always been fascist?

There is a Twitter account called Empty Seats Galore. Needless to say, yesterday was its Super Bowl.
