Chart of the Day

The decline of Memorial Day doubleheaders:

Doubleheaders in general are unheard of.  I don't think too many people are excited about spending 7 hours at the baseball game these days.  I've been to parts of two doubleheaders.  One was at New Comiskey Park, and we caught the last three innings or so of the first game, and all of the second.  The other was in Cincinnati, and we caught the last two innings of the first game, and left in the fifth inning of the second, because they cut off beer sales in the third inning of the second game.  Some traditions just don't last.
