There was virtual silence. Crickets, with light typing from a hushed press box mixed in. Mid-Atlantic Sports Network broadcaster Gary Thorne’s call from the third-floor press box, “Goodbye, home run,” resonated off the empty seating bowls. And there were muffled shouts from a small gathering of fans behind the stadium gates beyond left-center field and from the balcony of the Hilton Baltimore, where another small group had congregated. “When you’re rounding the bases, and the only cheers you hear were from outside the stadium, it’s a weird feeling,” Davis said. “I’ll take any home run I can get at any time I can get it, but it’s definitely more fun when there are fans in the stands.” That was the extent of the celebration in a six-run first that propelled the Orioles to an 8-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox in the only contest played between the two this week. The others were postponed — and rescheduled for a doubleheader here on a mutual off-day May 28 — due to prolonged civil unrest that escalated Saturday and again Monday following the death of city resident Freddie Gray while in police custody. Because the club did not want to pull security resources away from potential riot scenes in the city — and because it did not want to postpone all three games of the series — the teams played Wednesday in what is believed to be the first contest in Major League Baseball history without any fans.
