A record crowd for a regular-season Major League Baseball game got to see all the pomp and pageantry with the MLB Speedway Classic before the rain washed out the game itself in the bottom of the first inning.

The Major League Baseball Speedway Classic came to an anti-climatic end Saturday evening after heavy rain turned the field into mush and forced the Cincinnati Reds versus Atlanta Braves game to be suspended after one inning. But according to different fan accounts on social media, the event was a giant mess even without the rain.

After Saturday's Speedway Classic was suspended by rain in the bottom of the first inning, the Reds were forced to pivot and improvise, and could have their pitching situation affected for days to come at a critical point of their season.
