It's hard to know the origin of this game. It certainly pre-dates my nine years at spring training, but certainly doesn't stretch back to Red Schoendienst's 68 or so. It seems like a rather modern fallout from the longer bus rides and more conservative schedules and bigger contracts that convey veteran status.
