Millions expected for minor league baseball game A tip of the cap to the marketing department of the San Rafael Pacifics baseball team. In a statement released by the team Thursday, details of the Pacifics’ Aug. 4 “Alternative Facts Night” were announced in a series of reality-bending pronouncements. From 3 to 5 million people have already purchased tickets for the game but seats in the 1,000-seat capacity historic ballpark are still available. The team’s online ticketing system requires fans to scan their birth certificates before a ticket can be issued. Last year, they became the first team in professional baseball history to start two women in the same game — pitcher Stacy Piagno and left-fielder Kelsie Whitmore. [...] in 2015, they became the first professional team to use a computer - and not an umpire - to call balls and strikes.
