Award-winning author Charlie Bevis explores the long history of the major league doubleheader from its beginnings in the late 19th century up to the present day. Emphasizing its significance within baseball and popular culture, Bevis describes the twin bill's role in holiday celebrations, its one-time identity as Sunday sporting event, and the part it played in baseball's survival during the Depression and World War Two.
