LOL...i actually went to Nashville last summer for a few days to visit a friend who was interning there. Didnt get to go to a game though :(
And honestly, it's really not that far, or "vast distance" driving...it looks like it on a map but it's rarely ever more than an hour and 15 to go where I go in Brooklyn and North Jersey. NYC is about an hour, unless I'm driving in rush hour. The only time it takes longer is when I go see friends and family out on Long Island. Plus I don't mind driving, really...it's fun to me.
