Original 1962 MLB schedule here.
Extra games on days shifted around so teams play no more than one game per day. Aimed first to move games to keep them contiguous with other series with same matchup, but in some cases the games are singles (something not at all unprecedented for the era) placed attempting to keep travel considerations fairly realistic like not having a California team have a game in New York placed between two home series. Offdays severely trimmed by eliminating doubleheaders. Break for 2nd doubleheader removed.
