MLB announces 2017 schedule

Le Grande Orange · 09-17-2016, 04:17 PM

For those who may have missed it, on Wednesday MLB released its 2017 schedule. One unusual aspect is that it includes one scheduled two-for-one traditional doubleheader on June 10th between Oakland and Tampa.

(Note that many of the game start times are still yet to be determined.)

Makes sense, the league scores points with the "Back in my day, this was how doubleheaders were, and should be again!" nostaliga crowd, while limiting the impact of revenue loss to the teams, since neither of those two teams can fill their current ballparks anyway.

These days, single-admission double-headers are impractical for very simple reasons. Which smartphone's batteries hold up for two three-and-a-half hour games, plus the time in between and the subway ride there and back?

Not the new Galaxy, that's for sure.

That was a rather obnoxious bump, but the 2017 schedule hasn't been made in OOTP format yet. Anyone willing to work on it?
