The Marlins and Mets took the field around 7:10, with Dominic Smith and Billy Hamilton leading the way for New York.
All of the players took their positions, then removed their caps for 42 seconds of silence.
Then both teams walked off the field, leaving only a Black Lives Matter t-shirt covering home plate.
This comes one day after three MLB games and all NBA playoff games were postponed as players across sports came together to call for racial justice.

Nauseating.
Owners, Players, Sports casters; they are all in this together.
Remember this shit was started be the HALFRICAN raised by WHITE PARENTS who got cut because he was a lousy quarterback or some such shit.
No excuses for any of them, or anyone associated with the sports OPIATE OF THE IGNORANT MASSES!
Same with Hollywood. Why should I throw money at people who basically spit in my face?
I had NFL sunday ticket as some sort of freebie last year.
Fine, thanks, but I rarely watched it.
Then I get a note from DTV that I'm signed up for this season, and they want me to pay, north of $200.
This is, of course, $200 more than I'm willing to pay, as I've forsworn any sport that does not actively support my fine Country, our wonderful Veterans (me included), our magnificent Old Glory, and our incomparable way of life and history and traditions.
With great pleasure, I canceled NFL sunday ticket.
The once-great NFL is now no more than a collection of America-hating millionaires, kneeling before their Marxist minders.
My tagline!
I had a passing interest in NHL Hockey from time to time, and occasionally watched something or listened to sports radio. But no more.
Honestly, I think we should just end professional and college sports. All of them. They no longer serve any purpose.
They left a BLM tee shirt draped over home plate? How cool would it have been to have someone destroy home plate and the tee shirt with an RPG? That would be a reply I think even those dimwits could understand as to what we think of BLM.
Maybe Mertens’ is okay with it.
Nothing compared to the silence they’ll be hearing from their ex-fans in the future.
The Marlins don’t even have ex-fans.
Lol
I didn’t even watch them long enough to watch them walk off the field :-)
No play, no pay.
I hope these overpaid ingrates go broke and spend the rest of their lives dumpster diving and sleeping on cardboard behind their local Walmart.

The lead singer of Duran Duran.
And how many useful idiots still watched that 42 seconds in the hopes that a baseball games would be played?
I really have no sympathy for the useful idiots of the world.

That's the time it took Jacob Blake to wrestle away from the police and walk around his car and reach in.
(I may be wrong about that ;-)
Only in America could someone as stupid as Lebron James become a multi-millionaire. He’s SOOO effing stupid he doesn’t know that. And that applies to all the rest of these professional athletes.
“Hey, dude, what’s your skill set?”
“I can jump and bounce a ball!”
WOW, THAT’S WORTH A FORTUNE IN BOTSWANA!!
Excellent. That is the only thing that can have any actual effect. Folks need to cancel season tickets as well.
I hope the day comes that every corporation who donated to BtLMm are fined 6x the contribution amount to pay for riot damage.
