Noah's Ark Game
MinnPost.com has the story of a AAA game played with no fans due to the Iowa flood:
A voluntary evacuation order had emptied downtown Des Moines; Friday's game with Nashville was postponed and the Cubs already had doubleheaders scheduled for Sunday and Monday with the Sounds.
"We played the game to keep the players on a regular rotation," Sailor said. "If the flood got worse, we didn't want a bunch of people trapped."
