So named when all four major league sports – MLB, NFL, NHL and the NBA – are playing on the same night. This not the first time for a sports equinox; it has occurred 18 times previously. As Kendall Baker of Sports Internet reports (courtesy of Axios), “There was a 16-year period (1985-2001) without a single sports equinox. But now that Thursday Night Football is a fixture, the World Series starts later, and the NBA season starts earlier, they're much more frequent." For old-timers like me who remember when Monday Night Football was the hottest sports franchise, every night can seem like Monday night.
