Because of the rioting and civil discourse in Baltimore yesterday, the Chicago White Sox played the Baltimore Orioles in a closed stadium. No fans in attendance. This is the first time this has ever occurred in the history of major league professional baseball. BTW professional baseball leagues started before the American Civil War.
