When I was there Mrs. CA loved me doing the 80 mile round trip to a 7pm Saturday A's game that went to extra innings, finished at 11:30, home at 12:30 to get up and leave again the next morning for a 1pm Sunday game
Blimey! The one American sport I just can't watch is baseball, probably because I don't really get it but it does seem to go on and on and on without much happening. I'd rather watch dodgeball! (Not a bad sport actually). Imagine the furore over here if any team had to do a back to back, a back to back that can be in Miami the first night and San Fran the next....

One thing a lot of people don't realise, apart from American Football the regular seasons for NBA, NHL and MLB are insane in the amount of games and amount of air miles. Same players largely night after night, minus knocks here and there.
