Don Larsen pitched his perfect game of Game 4 of the 1956 World Series on October 8th. In 2010 the 4th game of the World Series is scheduled for October 31. This is a warm weather sport that could have its biggest games played in cold weather.
It would seem that baseball could fix the problem if it wanted. Some ideas:
1. Start the season earlier and play the early games in domes or warm weather locations.
2. Have each team play a few day/night doubleheaders.
3. Reduce the season.
4. Reduce the off days in the play-offs.
None of these by itself is the solution but taken together they could knock 3 weeks or so off the schedule.
Baseball's plan seems to be to ignore it, pray that warm weather teams play in the World Series or hope for global warming.
