Doubleheaders are a fun baseball novelty, but I’m getting pretty sick of them. Within the last eight weeks the Yankees have had a doubleheader in Detroit, a one-and-a-half-header in Washington, a doubleheader in Baltimore, and now they have a doubleheader against the Royals. And there’s another doubleheader in Baltimore on the schedule next month. Plus an off-day that turned into a makeup game against the Mets. Yuck.
Anyway, the schedule is what it is. Can’t do anything about it. The Yankees and lowly Royals are playing a split admission doubleheader today and thus far the Yankees are 3-3 in doubleheader games this season, including the suspended game against the Nationals.
