Does the PA announcer and Organ player show up for the @Orioles game today? DO players have a walk up song?

Some have seen it in soccer…but this Orioles – White Sox is something baseball hasn't seen. Eerie was the feeling I took from soccer.

I've seen empty ballparks before (Mets fan), but this is going to be extremely weird watching White Sox-Orioles.

On the TV feed for O's-White Sox, you can hear the cameras clicking, dugout chatter, umpire balls/strikes and fans from outside cheering.

Adam Jones hollered and clapped into his glove in CF after each out in first inning, doing his best to approximate crowd noise.

Orioles take 1-0 lead, and cheer goes up among fans peering through wrought-iron fence on Camden Street.

Weirdest ball game ever.
