2015 – Today’s scheduled game between the Orioles and the White Sox is postponed because of violent protests in downtown Baltimore, MD, following the death of a black man in police custody a week earlier. Two days earlier, as an Orioles game was headed for extra innings, the mayor’s office asked spectators not to leave the ballpark because of safety concerns, before lifting the recommendation at the end of game after things had calmed down. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has also decreed a week-long curfew from 10 PM to 5 AM, making the playing of two scheduled night games problematic.
