30 Ballparks in 30 Days: The Ultimate Baseball Road Trip Itinerary Generator … – Slate Magazine

I came up with the idea for the original 30-game road trip while I was a member of the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective, a college club that was designed to reduce all sports decisions to Moneyball-style minutia. I devised our road trip itinerary using a computational technique called linear programming. I wanted to visit all 30 parks in 30 days, and I wanted to build in enough time in each city to allow us to stay for the whole game. I was also adamant that we drive between cities, never taking advantage of planes, trains, or time machines.
