Q: The Braves recently played a doubleheader. How much time is allowed between games? I noticed the players had put new uniforms on. Do they have time to shower and shave between games? Do they eat anything?
KATHY PISKA, ATLANTA
A: The time between games depends on if it’s a traditional doubleheader (one game immediately after the other) or what’s called a day/night doubleheader, a Braves spokeswoman told Q&A on the News in an email.
In a traditional doubleheader, the second game usually will begin 30 minutes after the first.
“In that scenario, most players will catch their breath, eat something and change uniforms,” she wrote.
For a day/night doubleheader, the stadium will be cleared of fans and cleaned after the first game is over. The park will open a few hours later for Game 2. Players have the opportunity to shower, eat, relax and potentially take a nap during the break, the spokeswoman wrote.
