Every year at about this time, Kosmo pours through the paper and sees how area baseball teams try to fit in doubleheaders.
At that point, Kosmo just starts laughing. No, it's not to make fun of anybody, particularly league commissioners and athletic directors who understandably want to save as much gas as possibly by playing two games at once.
They're just trying to do their job.
The problem is that playing doubleheaders this time of year normally leads to tripleheaders in May.
With the exception of the doubleheaders played in the Catholic League, which has quicker games because of they play with 3 balls and 2 strikes, rarely are teams able to fit in both games in April.
Then, come May when another doubleheader is played at the other school site, they have to spend time finishing up the second game of the previous doubleheader and then playing another doubleheader.
Teams should just do what the OAA does, and have two single games in league play. Either that or just play more league doubleheaders on Saturday.
- Kosmo wants to say congratulations to Country Day point guard Ray McCallum for choosing to play for his Dad at Detroit Mercy. It showed great respect and loyalty to the man who taught him the game and is largely responsible for making him the player he is now. Without question, his presence should also reinvigorate Detroit Mercy basketball. Fans should flock down to Calihan Hall in droves next season, so it'll be a fun winter.
