Hey Ed!  Yeah, I noticed.  Nowadays it seems like there has to be a  
thunderstorm directly over the stadium to have it called and played  later as 
part of a dblhdr. 
 
Speaking of which....when Joe Buzas had the AAA Beavers here in  Portland, 
many odd things happened.  But one of the worst was a Saturday  
"doubleheader:" There was a game at 1p., Joe had the stadium cleared  
immediately after the game, and you had to go outside again and pay  full 
price *again* to see the 5p game!
