Orioles vs White Sox, April 29, 2015; attendance: 0

YOU are the WINNER today because you get to enjoy this page about what it was like, the day when two major league baseball teams played a game and nobody was allowed in.

(If you are in a non-baseball culture you will have to translate this to another sport.)

This sort of multimedia presentation in a single page is all the new way now; that link up there leads to a whole BUNCH of Tweets, images, anigifs, and Vines. But even if you didn't understand a single word I just said, you'll still enjoy the experience of this wonderful collection of stuff.

Baseball can still conjure up some marvelous things! So don't miss:

- "Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph had fun with the strange atmosphere, pretending to sign autographs and receive applause from nonexistent fans."

- A homerun ball leaves the stands and nobody notices. It lands, rolls, and then sits, lonely and unattended to, at the entrance of a men's bathroom.

- Definitely do not miss: the TV announcers briefly pretended like they were announcing a golf match. It's marvelous. And... dare I say it... it might even be the right way to call this game.
