how do baseball players travel to away games?

Question

baseball traveling

Answer 1

Usually by charter planes as a team. They are bused from the airport to the team hotel and bused from the hotel to the stadium on most occasions. If a series is between two cities in close proximity like New York and New York or Los Angeles and San Diego, teams usually give the option to players, especially veterans, to drive up by themselves.

Answer 2

I know for a fact that Major Leaguers travel by a chartered plane, a bus, or a train.

(The Orioles have often traveled to New York by train.)

Minor leaguers (Rookie Ball through AAA) always travel by chartered bus. But their drives aren't usually too terribly long. They have different leagues so you don't travel too far. Maybe ten hours tops by bus.

Answer 3

Usually, by charter plane. If the cities are close together (the Mets playing the Yankees, for example, or the Dodgers against the Padres), they may take buses or trains.

Answer 4

The major leaguers go by plane. Most minor league teams travel by bus.

Answer 5

Major Leaguers by plane, most Minor Leaguers by bus (less distance to travel).

Answer 6

Major leagues - plane, most definitely
Minor leagues - more than likely bus, especially in the low minors (rookie ball, A, AA)

Answer 7

They usually have a charter plane. Often, airlines have a specific plane set aside for a specific team.

Answer 8

They leave immediately after the night game to go to the next destination for the next day's game.

Answer 9

They generally fly in an airplane, but sometimes go by bus if the trip is a short one.

Answer 10

Charter.
