The Angels’ road trip from Baltimore to Texas to New York that begins Friday will log the team 8,385 air miles. Had the schedule required the Angels to go to Texas first then Baltimore and New York it would have been 2,598 miles less, or five hours less flying.
And to think, this isn’t manager Mike Scioscia’s biggest gripe with the schedule. Scioscia doesn’t like that the Angels will be playing out-of-division opponents as late as a week and a half before the season ends.
