1. Major League Baseball's national and local networks as well as each individual team are trying all sorts of things to spice up telecasts since there are no fans in stadiums.
Some teams are putting cardboard cutouts behind home plate. Others are opting for tarp over the seats behind home plate. And most teams are pumping in fake crowd noise.
Meanwhile, Fox is experimenting with creepy virtual fans, which is just bizarre more than anything else.
Of course, the answer to spicing up a broadcast isn't fake fans and fake noise or fake anything.
