How This Trip Was Planned

Our Algorithm

We evaluate many stop orders (up to seven parks: every permutation; larger trips: smart samples plus nearest-neighbor paths from home) and keep the version that preserves the most ballparks on your list with the least driving between games, inside an expanded or standard date ...

Every Park a Pilgrimage.

Build your own baseball road trip in minutes.
