If airfare is too much, you could always drive. It’s 11 hours to NRG Stadium in Houston and 16 hours to Boston without any stops.
Huddleston talked to Eugene O’Donnell, who said that if the Braves win tonight and go to the World Series, he would try to get tickets to go.
“Absolutely,” O’Donnell said. “If my wife would let me.”
If O’Donnell’s wife does let him, got, it will cost him around $1,000 to go to the game in both Houston and Boston.
If he drives, it’s a little more for each state. That’s if game tickets don’t shoot up in price between now and the series.
