The Yankees unveil a new fall tradition this evening, as the winners of the Little League World Series, the Twins representing the Twin Cities of Minnesota, are invited to River Avenue to face off against the Bronx Bombers. It’s a tall order indeed for the Twins, whose payrolls is roughly comparable to how much Brett Gardner’s personal assistant makes in a year.
Metro-North has three extra Hudson Line trains, dubbed the ”Yankee Clipper”, of course, to shuttle fans to the ballpark for tonight’s 6:07 kickoff, along with one direct train on both the Harlem and New Haven Line.
The Hudson Line trains depart Croton-Harmon at 3:55 and 4:57 and Poughkeepsie at 3:30. The New Haven Line train leaves New Haven at 2:45, makes the major stops, and then makes like a Sabathia fastball from Stamford to the Yankees-153rd Street stop for a 4:21 arrival, leaving ample time for the consumption of Bud bottles at Stan’s.
The Harlem Line direct train departs Southeast at 3:20 p.m. and makes all local stops to Mount Vernon West at 4:31 p.m. then operates non-stop to the Stadium for a 4:52 arrival.
Of course, diehard fans can also take the subway to 125th and grab a shuttle train from there.
“Despite a game time that is in the heart of Metro-North’s evening rush hour, the railroad wants to give fans the opportunity to try our great game day service and experience the ease of beating stadium traffic,” said Metro-North President Howard Permut. “Although the railroad does not have a lot of extra train cars or a lot of extra track capacity on a weeknight at 6 o’clock, we felt that this playoff home stand series will allow us to attract fans who we hope will become regular customers.”
