Its all about the money. Too many teams now, the rivalries are gone, and so are the diehard fans.

The owners should at least bring back doubleheaders. It would throw the fans a bone, seeing two games for the price of one, and it would shorten the number of days of a too long season.

“The owners should at least bring back doubleheaders. “

Amen.

With the 154 game schedule, and the season going only from early April to mid October, those double headers were great.

Almost every Sunday and the holidays were double headers.

And the double headers would take only about 5 hours. Now, a single game sometimes takes 4 hours, and usually well over 3 hours.

IIRC, that's controlled by the players.
I think they do schedule day/night dbl headers as a result of rain outs, but that's all.
