A doubleheader is when a team plays 2 games in one day. Teams used to schedule some doubleheaders, but now doubleheaders only occur when making up for a game that was canceled. Thirty years ago there was only about a half hour between games of the doubleheader, and doubleheaders either had an early afternoon start (12:00 or 1:00) or they were "twi-night" doubleheaders that started around 5:30. One ticket got you into both games. Today doubleheaders are generally "day-night" doubleheaders, with a day game and a night game played by the same pair of teams with several hours between games, and separate admission required for each game. The Mets and Yankees have played 2 two-borough doubleheaders, making up a rained out game in one stadium during the afternoon before driving to the other stadium to play the scheduled game at night.
