Be vewy, vewy quiet... they're playing baseball: In traditional Veeck fashion, Silent Night at Brockton Rox's Campanelli Stadium when over without a lot of noise as the home team silenced the visiting Aces 3-2.

I'd beg for that to happen at a Jays game. Wait, not for the FANS to be quiet, but the goddamn PA system!

It did seem like the crowd was unusually festive the final four innings as it was obvious that Rox fans aren't used to holding it in and being quiet for that long. I thought it was Yankees fans that couldn't shut up. *ducks*

Instead, it went through the bottom of the fifth where it was strange to hear a rousing cheer when Arroyo grounded into a double play to end the inning because it meant that the fans no longer had to remain silent. Awesome. Sweet link, terrapin.
