Baltimore Orioles pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez delivers a pitch during the second inning during a MLB game against the Chicago White Sox at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland on April 29, 2015. The game was closed to the public due to a public safety concern outside of the ballpark after protests and riots began due to the death of Freddie Gray while he was in Baltimore Police custody. 

Closed to the Public

May 04, 2015

I had the opportunity to photograph an incredibly odd game this past week at Camden Yards.

No fans were in attendance due to the riots and protests going on in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray. I wanted to make a frame that was quiet. The ballpark at times was silent, something I have never experienced before. 

At times, it was hard to concentrate on the game. Any level of audible cues were gone and at times I forgot for a split second I was at a baseball game.

I was very fortunate to be apart of the experience as it is the first time in MLB history and a game I will always remember.

Until next time, take care!
