Now that we have a World Series that's dangerously close to going into November for no good reason, can someone consider bringing back the doubleheader? The players won't because they don't want to play two games in a day, and owners won't because they fear that two games on the same day won't perform as well as one game each on two days. And Bud won't because the owners won't. Maybe President Obama can do something about this?

If each team plays one doubleheader a month, that would take a week off of the schedule. This may not help avoid the current problem (it's just as likely to be crappy on October 19 as October 26 in the Northeast), but mentally I think it'd be a nice move.
