Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. This week I want to talk about something that struck me last week about a very specific and unexpected silver lining hidden in the currently crowd-free games being played at T-Mobile Park.
Everything about games being played without actual cheering crowds is strange, but we’ve come to accept that as part of the 2020-ness of it all. We’ve got piped-in crowd noise, which varies in nature of intrusiveness and falseness from stadium to stadium. There’s the deafening silence when the road team does something good and hearing their players holler at each other much more clearly than usual.
