Say, howdy.....buncha us sitting 'round the hot stove on this sweltering OKC night, clicking through various MLB games......figuring the All-Star Game oughta be at Mets-CitiField every year since it's probably the closest airport-baseball connection....or is it?

Without looking-up maps or nothin'.....the conversation went sorta like this....

Don'tcha recall good ol' Candelstick Park being close to SFO....but wait, isn't Oakland right at OAK (or at least the same BART stop)?

Is Comiskey-White Sox closer to MDW than Wrigley is to ORD? (And what a shame neither airport's subway/L line goes from terminal to team....and as long as it's "Wrigley" then the Sox play at "Comiskey"...not some corporate name!)

Are the Rangers in Arlington closer to DFW* than the Phillies to PHL or Fenway from BOS or Braves from ATL (by driving distance, and is it fair to measure from *DFW-South exit?)

The newest Minne stadium is further from MSP than before, right? But that Tampa Bay Concrete-Dome is quite close to the St Pete airport used by Allegient, right?

Furthest from airport has gotta be KC and MCI.....or maybe Rockies and DEN? (oh wait, how about PIT to Pirates?)

LAX to Dodgers always seems like a long trip but maybe that's because you're looking forward to a team that's getting better, compared to the actual distance going to a depressing Astros game from HOU-Hobby.

If you want to fly-in, then take subway to the game, is the simplest trip which drops you off closest to the stadium....BWI to Orioles-Camden Park....SEA to Mariners.....or CLE to Cleveland....or STL to Cards?

Just some random jabbering between innings....it's not so much definitive answers as the mental impressions......memories vs. sabermetrics of travel and baseball!
