Rent a bot

In Tokyo, the Japanese baseball team Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks have replaced their fans with dancing robots. Over 20 robots danced to the team’s fight song on a podium in the otherwise empty stands.

 

Two different robots, including SoftBank’s humaniod robot ‘Pepper’ and others on four legs like a dog, performed a choreographed dance that is the Hawks’ fans tradition before games in the 40,000 capacity Fukuoka Dome.

 

Some of the robots wore Hawks caps and waved flags supporting the team.

 

Send in the clowns?

Fred if you need to ask that question I think it's time to replace your rotary phone.

Baseball without fans will be Strange!
Hear Yankees even have plan to do the traditional bleacher roll call without the bleacher creatures!

Better than the $89 cardboard cut out of you if you pay the Mets at Citifield. At least the money is supposed to go to a charity. But I think the bots are different and neat.

Anything that is non-violent, apolitical, environmentally friendly, and not fattening is fine with me.
