Employers fired workers who joined labor originations, so the Knights met secretly and used special handshakes to identify each other. Unlike most unions, the Knights recruited people who had been kept out if grade unions, including women, African Americans, & unskilled laborers. In Philadelphia.
The Regular Season. The Major League Baseball season runs from the start of April to the end of September, with each club playing 162 games. That means about one day off every ten days, so baseball is pretty much game-a-day.
If the teams makes the playoffs they will play through October and if they make the World Series it could go into the first week of November. So baseball season is about six months long. Source(s): Philadelphia Phillies fan for many years:)
