The schedule used to be done by a couple out on Long Island. There was even a 30 for 30 documentary on them. But then they gave it over to the computers. Blame them I guess.
I wish they'd go back to doubleheaders. I actually went to the last "true" doubleheader the Braves had back in '11. Those were great.
The new commissioner wants more off days. The best solution is more doubleheaders.
The obvious issue is the gate receipts. But if you want to shorten the season and make sure the October Classic doesn't slide into November they ought to do it. Then they could bring back World Series day games. Start getting the young fans back.
