Google Maps says 3.5 hours, which is a long time on a bus. But a number of the veterans are going for the ride. Even George Springer. He really must want the at bats, because he could easily say \u2018I don\u2019t want to go\u2019 and no one would make him. Seven hours on the bus for 3 or 4 plate appearances?
