i have looked everywhere and have found nothing? going by memory? i would have to say some time in mid to early 90`s? selig i believe was behind the push to cancel doubleheaders? they still have doubleheaders (cause of rainouts) but fans can not attend both games like good old days (usually take 2 to 3 hour break between games) of course there is the rare occasion were game are suspended cause of rain and team makes up the few innings next game? (fans can attend both of those games) will continue looking for exact date?

What is a doubleheader?

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.


How exactly is the major league baseball schedule determined each year?

For the past 24 years, MLB outsourced the task of scheduling to the husband-and-wife team of Henry and Holly Stephenson. But for 2005, MLB has hired a Pittsburgh-based firm, the Sports Scheduling Group, to replace the Stephensons. Apparently, MLB hopes to avoid so many "semi-repeaters" in which the same teams play in back-to-back series at home then away.


What is the formula for a season schedule in Major League Baseball?

That is something that will, in all probability, never be revealed. The company that MLB contracts with to do their scheduling is called Sports Scheduling Group, who is based in Butler, Pennsylvania. SSG also does scheduling for the several NCAA conferences including the Atlantic Coast Conference and Colonial Athletic Conference. Evidently, sports scheduling is very lucrative and SSG refuses to divulge how they go about creating schedules.
