A note on a realo change in baseball. Take a look at the 2nd game of the Yankees-Senators Double-header. It was called for darkness in the 7th Inning, something we now have totally forgotten about.

For the historian the first MLB Night-Game was May 24th, 1935 where the visiting Phillies lost to the Reds. Of course the last stadium to install and use lights for night playing was the Cubbies who still have the fewest night games.

We covered the first night game at Ebbets field. It was a memorable night for more than just the technological innovation.
