Also, these days, I'm "all for," a well-paced game, and the preservation of "multi-million-dollar arms."
However, when I was a kid...my dad took me to a Giants double-header (June 2, 1962 vs. the Mets). Giants won both that (very long) day 10-1; 6-4...and I wish they coulda/woulda played three...what a day for a 7-year old. (got C-Ed Bailey to autograph a ball)
Endurance Fun facts: In a 165-game season, and the G-men played eight double-header's that year, tying for the NL Pennant w/LA...beating them in a 3-game playoff to go to the WS!?! (Lost in 7 to the NYY).
All great analysis, (as per usual).
