Sometimes, if you have a demanding life outside of work, it's easier to move around professional obligations than family and community ones. It can mean your only chance to get to a ballgame is during the space of a workday. Blessedly, that's not me anymore, but I'll never forget what it was like. It left me in the habit of compiling these options every year.

Here's the list of workday games for 2023, within day-tripping distance of Baltimore. It's a particularly good crop at the MLB level, thanks to the re-balanced schedule. Skip work, go to the ballpark, and enjoy!
