A game with NO fans.

Actually, a fun stunt from Mike Veeck.

And yes, I think we've had a thread on the lowest attended game, and I'll have to let them know that the lowest crowd, according to my source, was SIX at Worcester in 1882 vs. Troy.

Best thing I have to say: At least it was in good taste and there was a good sense of humour about it.
But then again, what else do you expect from a Veeck?

Is that Worcester, MA Smed?

Yes, yes it was. The Worcester Ruby Legs.

Veeck is great for minor league baseball and is a fine tribute to his father who was one of the most creative marketing minds in baseball history. Of course, it was always a joke to the Veeck's (rhymes with Wreck's)...
