Just put a map of the US on my wall, which will provide hours of unproductive time. To celebrate I just had to re-map out a new 36 day trip to see the MLB teams, based on the interstate highway system. Six days with nine hours of travel but these days can be split up if needed. Travel through every continental state except eight (Arkansas, Maine, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and Vermont). Can add states if weather or schedule permit. Additional minor league stops at cities noted can be added if required by weather or MLB schedule. Some MLB cities can be easily flip flopped if needed due to schedule.
