英语词汇doubleheader的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	doubleheader
词源	doubleheader. A railroad train pulled by two locomotives was called a doubleheader in the 1870s. Though there were baseball doubleheaders—two games played in succession on the same day—as early as 1882, the term doesn’t seem to have been used in baseball until the end of the century. It could have derived from the railroad usage but there is no absolute proof of this.
