The Amtrak World Series

We've had the Subway Series and now we are on the verge of a New York vs Philadelphia World Series. It's a relatively short train trip from New York to Philadelphia. Its even quicker by the Acela Amtrak trains. So perhaps even more appropriately, the Acela World Series. New York is just a 1 hour and 15 minute ride from Philadelpia by Acela. However, by comparison Google Maps says you could drive by car the 108-mile trip from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx in 1 hour and 44 minutes. Factoring in the taxi and/or subway trips between the train stations and the parks; and weighing the costs of train tickets versus the amount of traffic, driving is likely more efficient. Nevertheless, Amtrak at least has an angle to stake on this potential World Series.
