[edit] Day-Night Doubleheaders

I added that The Elias Sports Bureau does not include "Day-Night" doubleheaders in their record books as real doubleheaders. This came up after one played on August 18-19, 2006 when the New York Yankees and the Boston Redsox played the longest nine inning game by time in major league history, 4 hours and 45 minutes. It was the back end of a day-night doubleheader. The first game went 3 hours and 55 minutes which would have meant the two teams played a total of 8 hours and 40 minutes of baseball. Had this been considered a real doubleheader it would have shattered the record of 7 hours and 39 minutes set by the Texas Rangers and Chicago Whitesox in Chicago on May 24, 1995.^[1]

Elias does not consider a doubleheader two games in which the park is cleared in between games. ^[2]
