Method of Transportation To This Game, Where I am headed next.

Will return a rental car to Philly 30th station, that I rented from the previous day.  Amtrak it to Washington, pick up another rental there, to take to the Nationals Park facility.  Hopefully my arrival at 5:15 will mean I see at least 5 innings.

In Philadelphia, I must exit CBP at no later than 2:30, so I hope 5 innings are done there to preserve my doubleheader at both fields. I would likely just leave CBP early in that scenario.  Having a game 70 minutes in only in Washington is a good percentage pick to nail at least 5 innings. Even though the pitching matchup is Max Scherzer and Michael Wacha.

If the game is slow in Philly, i would have no chance to make the Nats game for a qualified contest, considering the brutal driving traffic down I-95, -295 and the beltway.  The train is the only option here.  I also love Washington as my favorite NL squad, so would rather make the game I nail down, although would love to nail down a second.

If I miss either game for the 216 mark, I will simply add Cincinnati to Oct.01, to fill the void.  It is all about having fun here – with some deft traveling maneuvering.

The Players Involved

I am watching this game with myself at both contests.

2015 Trip schedule.

The 30 MLB Park tour by travel or air is one of the most adrenaline filled chases one can endure. It is like the Amazing Race, meets Survivor, against Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
