    The Iowa Cubs set(or maybe matched) an unbreakable attendence record Saturday when they played before a paid crowd of zero....thats right, no one attended the game because the stadium wasnt deemed safe after damage from the recent flooding, but the teams played anyway....the Cubs won 5-4, which begs the question: If a Cub hits a homer in the woods and no one is there to see it, did it really clear the fence?

    When Mike Veeck (not sure if he still is) was owner of the Charleston River Dogs they had a game where they didn't allow anyone in until the game was official in the 5th inning, at the time set the record of 0 attendance.

    If no one is there, who pitched?
