Abstract
A study conducted in the late 1980s determined the climatically optimal placement of the Major League Baseball season based on temperature and several other climatic variables. Numerous changes have taken place in Major League Baseball since the late 1980s which could have potentially altered the placement of the climatically optimal season. This paper updates the previous work in order to determine the current climatically optimal season. The results indicate that the climatically optimal season has only changed slightly since the time of the previous study. As found in the previous study, based on climate alone, the season should begin and end at a later date than is currently the case
