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?

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.
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.
The MLB was officially founded using the term MLB in 1920.
