4 Guys and a Plan

Back in February my brother (Brandon) and I (Brent) wanted to take an extended sports trip.  After much discussion we decided to do 4 MLB games in 4 days in 4 cities.  After printing off the schedules and lining up games we settled on August 4th-7th, making stops in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh.  We asked 2 friends (Tanner and Cory) to join us to help keep costs of gas and lodging down.  Tanner misunderstood the last stop and thought we would be going to Philadelphia.  It was then we realized we could extend the trip to 5 games, and after that realized we should also make a stop in New York, so our trip became 6 games in 6 days in 6 cities.

We began shopping around for tickets and were able to get tickets for all 6 games for $271 each.  From there we loaded a cooler with Brats Burgers and snacks, got a small propane grill, packed some clothes and set off.  We decided we would stay in cheaper hotels in smaller cities between games to help keep costs down and split up the driving time.  We set out at 4am on August 4th for 6 days.
