I wish I could remember.

Stevenshev, come on (as Warner Wolf says). This neighborhood is packed with people.

I trained it a few months ago. Here are the cons:

-switch at 125th street going and coming. Not so bad.
-the MTA didn't prepare for those early games ie 2 hours and 25 minute games. They scheduled several trains beginning at the 3 hour mark IIRC.

If the game ends early, or it's a blow out and the Yankees are clobbering Boston , you'll have to wait for a Hudson Line train. Last time I did this and waited 30 minutes for the next train. YMMV. It's beyond me why Metro North doesn't run this unscheduled, like a shuttle.

I liked the idea of the train, but didn't like the what-ifs.
