Abstract
Mean daily temperature data are analyzed for the 15 coolest cities which have major league baseball teams and do not have domed stadiums. The temperature data are used to determine the optimal (warmest) portion of the year for the baseball season to be held. These data, along with several additional climatic variables, indicate that from an entirely climatic viewpoint, the major league baseball season should begin and end somewhat later in the year than is presently the case. Some possible implications of such a shift are discussed.
