I started working on the same thing, turning the Retrosheet schedules directly into OOTP-acceptable CSV format. My goal was just to produce those files for historical sake and not make any sort of flexible importer or something that can evolve season to season. I'd so far done what Retrosheet has for 1962 forward, though that is only 7 seasons.
I was setting all the game times for either 1 (day) or 7 (night) local time. As for doubleheaders, I was just setting the games to 1 & 7 local time. Perhaps I'm imagining it, but I thought I saw something saying better doubleheader support would be attempted. I suppose more likely I'm just remembering somebody hoping for it. Haven't try playing out any of the games to see how the AI is handling twin-bills though myself.
One issue I seemed to run into was the All-Star game always being hosted by the NL. And what is the story on the 2 All-Star Game seasons? I can get 2 "AL vs NL" games listed, but only one shows on the schedule edit screen at the bottom. Again, haven't done any simming, but I'd figure it either skips the other game or crashes the game.
