And as the author of a popular new childrenâs book about a nanny with magical powers, the eccentric writer â who is unmarried and yearns for a son â seems the ideal person. 1  Pamela Travers, the woman who wrote Mary Poppins, is pictured with her adopted son Camillus Hone in the Forties. She left his twin brother Anthony at the mercy of neglectful relatives.
Major League Baseball schedule. The Major League Baseball (MLB) season schedule consists of 162 games for each of the 30 teams in the American League (AL) and National League (NL), played over approximately six monthsâa total of 2,430 games, plus the postseason. The regular season typically runs from early April to late September, followed by the postseason in October.
Each team, in modern times, is scheduled to play 162 games; with 30 franchises, that works out to 4860 games. But not that many are played -- 2430 (or so) are, because there's two teams per game. This bookkeeping doesn't take that into account, so we divide by two. MLB competition games == 345950 / 2 == 172975. And that includes wins, losses, and the occasional tie -- everything considered official games in championship play.
