Yankee manager
Aaron Boone is concerned that his 2018 team is faced with playing too many doubleheaders, i.e., two games in one day, either two or one admission. And a doubleheader getting jammed up against a night game the day before. Today, Monday June 4, 2018 the Yankees will play their first doubleheader of the season: day, night double admission (two sets of fans each paying for one game) in Detroit.
From those thrilling days of yesteryear, here's what happened 50 years ago.
