Hard to recall the last time there was a single admission double header. Reminds me of the time in the late 60's when I took a date to a Sunday twin bill, and parked a couple of streets away from the stadium. On my return, the car wouldn't start: battery stolen. Found a pay phone (do the youngsters here remember those?) Salvation came from my Dad, who brought me a new battery. By the way, the date eventually became my wife, and we just celebrated our 45th anniversary.
