Yesterday was Double Day. 6/12/24. This only happens once every 4 years or so. The 6 is half of 12 and 12 is half of 24. I suppose it could be called “half day”. If it was half day, people would ask what the other half was. “Was it half night? One of them eclipses?” they would ask…
It’s nice that this Double Day occurred during the baseball
season since Abner Doubleday is credited with inventing the game of baseball. (So
I guess it’s fair to say that he invented the double also.) Doubleday was also
a decorated Union officer in the Civil War and he later invented the cable car
of all things, in San Francisco. In short, he was a great American. (I was not able to confirm that there was ever a double wide cable car, however. Or double decker.)
Do you think baseball could schedule some double headers to
honor Mr. Doubleday on Double Day? Is that asking too much? C’mon!
