All of this talk about empty stadiums and simulated crowd noise is not new. I grew up listening to recreations of away AAA Hawaii Islander baseballs games (pre satellite). Fake crowd noise, even the crack of the bat was a stick on a block of wood. Les Keiter did such an amazing job, for years I thought it was real. I did an interview with Les in the 80s, Don't think I still have that tape (still looking).
