I absolutely love this time of year. Not only is winter fading in the rearview window, it also means baseball is returning for us in New Jersey.

In kind of a way, it does return with spring training, even though those stats don't really count in the long run with the season. But it's still fun to watch.

For two of our teams, the trip isn't as simple. It's not that the Yankees or Mets are hard to get to, they just require more time to budget on the road. That, and a heck of a lot more in tolls. That's just the way it is traveling to New York City.

However, there is an alternative for us in 2026. What if you can just coast the waters of the Hudson River to get to either Yankee Stadium or Citi Field?
