What if this game ws resumed in September...would the entire 40 man roster be available?
I've always wondered if there is a man who has played the same game for both teams.
Now that you mention it...I recall that there has been...
Nope:No player has played for both teams in a suspended or protested game. Chris Cannizzaro came close to performing this achievement. He was the starting catcher on May 16, 1971, in the first game of a San Diego Padres–Chicago Cubs doubleheader. Bob Barton, the regular Padres catcher caught the second game, which was suspended after six innings. Three days later, Cannizzaro was traded to the Cubs. On August 4, 1971 the game was completed, but Cannizzaro did not play. Ironically, he played in the schedule game that followed later that day.Dave Hamilton also approached playing for two different clubs in the same game. The second game of a St. Louis Cardinals–Pittsburgh Pirates doubleheader on April 23, 1978 was suspended and resumed June 26, 1978. He pitched in the first game of the double header as a reliever (three scoreless innings). However, he was not used in the second game despite two other relievers being used. He was sold by the Cardinals to the Pirates May 28, 1978 and did not play in the resumed game. Like Cannizzaro, he did play in the regularly scheduled game that followed it that day.http://sabr.org/research/anomalies-protested-and-suspended-baseball-games
Have teams ever exchanged guys between a day/night doubleheader? If the uniform stitchers worked fast enough, they could play for two teams the same day!
Nope...Although no baseball player has played for two teams in the same game, seventeen have played for two clubs on the same day (besides Max Flack, Cliff Heathcote, and Joel Youngblood who were not in suspended games). This involved playing in a game for one team, and then being traded to a team that later continued a suspended/protested game.[/b]
What channel is broadcasting the 2:05 game?
I would think the carrier from last night. Rule 4.12 continues: The broadcasting partner of a suspended game must finish the suspended game without substitution.
Surprised they trotted out Roark again.
