It stinks when your team doesn’t play on a Holiday. Four teams are off on this Memorial day, Cards, Phils, Giants and Braves. This has been going on for a while now. I have some fond memories of past Memorial Days that were loaded with double-headers, July 4th and Labor Day too. In the yesteryears there was plenty of baseball being played to large holiday crowds.
I don’t understand the way the game has evolved regarding this topic. Follow the money trail as always.
Rats…. have a cook-out party to pass the day or watch some TV marathon and catch up on some sleep.
ps. the Cards will have three days off in eight days with Memorial day being the third. And they will have the next Monday off as well. That’s why we start our schedule in March.
July 4th we play in Seattle and Labor day we host SF. So there’s that.
