With the New York Mets hosting a doubleheader that suddenly could mean more than just playing out the string, it’s a good moment to look back at the franchise’s doubleheaders over the years.
In 450-plus days when the Mets have played twice, there have been plenty of noteworthy moments, especially back when doubleheaders were printed on the schedule before the first rainout could occur. The 1962 Mets played 30 doubleheaders—winning three.
The 1965 season saw the Mets go until August before they had a week where they did NOT play a doubleheader. There are a few cases where the second game was not completed.
