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.

Agreed.
Anyone that still watches pro sports are supporting leftism. From top to bottom, it’s a spoiled rotten bunch of rich crybabies.
Call for racial justice? In 2020 America? POINT TO THE INJUSTICE! These people are delusional. Literally.
Yeh....That showed us....what a bunch of ahs
I was at the first game played at Shea Stadium. I was there when the Mets won the ‘69 World Series. I saw Willie Mays play his last game in the ‘73 Series.
But now I wouldn’t know anything about what they do if it weren’t for these posts on FR.

I dont think I will ever forget that picture
Where is Rick Monday when you need him?
Little Leaguers are ashamed of Major Leaguers
Screw these racists.
Time to buy a used boat and go fishing.
Don’t panic.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
As far as the Marlins go, I say - So long and thanks for all the fish.
Keep digging that hole...
I prefer a small vat of tartar sauce with my fried flounder and steak fries.
Who is Lebon?
Been a Mets fan since 1968. I even had an autographed picture of Tommie Agee when I was a kid. They were my only hope for something to watch this year but they blew it and MLB blew it to and now I’m done with professional sports period. Full stop.
The overpaid, pampered goons can’t even articulate their “grievances”. Hey LeBron, how about taking a crack at defining “social justice “ for us?
How about “systemic racism “? How about “total bullshit”?
I agree, and baseball is about as “America” as it gets.
The left is trying to dismantle everything American right before our very eyes.
My letter to the Atlanta Braves at the start of the season and their response.
As a longtime fan of the Atlanta Braves and Major League Baseball, I have to draw the line and say enough is enough. Sports and baseball, in particular, were meant as an escape from the world around us. Including diversity, gay rights, and now black lives matter, I will no longer tune in, turn on or purchase any Atlanta Braves items. I paid over $400 in tickets to the last game of the season against the St. Louis Cardinals, plus I spent over $300 in dinner, drinks, and sports paraganglia that night. Consider the fact that I also went to over a dozen games last year, subscribed to MLB TV and actively listened to the Braves on the radio. Now multiply that times 10s of thousands of fans who feel the same way as I do. I hope that it hits you and every team in the pocketbook.
I work too hard for my money to get punched in the face by an organization that I supported for so many decades. Getting rid of the “Chop” cost the Braves a chance to beat the Cardinals and now you are continuing your losing ways by completely removing it altogether. It may not be an important thing for you, but for fans like me, it most definitely is important.
I pray that none of the Atlanta Braves players kneel during our National Anthem.
—Thank you for reaching out and for your support of the Braves. We will share your feedback with our leadership team and sincerely appreciate you sharing. Our organization has not abandoned the tomahawk chop, and feedback from fans, players, and the Native American community are top of mind while evaluating the game day experience.
Again, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts and will pass them on.
Atlanta Braves
