MLB ShleMLB! Minor League Baseball is where the enjoyment is.Low prices (except for the grossly overpriced Aces), close seats, cheaper food and beer and players, coaches and owners who will talk to you and sign autographs for kids.
The Reno Aces are within walking distance of Amtrak. Brooklyn Cyclones reachable by subway from Penn Station. Greenville, SC's team is downtown not too far from the station. Albuquerque's should be reachable by a bus from Amtrak if I remember it well. I can't remember how far from Amtrak are the other 38 teams we have seen in their home parks. Anyone help with other teams?
For the St. Louis Cardinals affiliates:
AAA-Memphis Redbirds
Location: Autozone Park, 3rd St. & Union Ave., Memphis, TN
Distance from closest Amtrak (MEM): 12 blocks
Transit feasibility rating: A
Notes: Walkable, or bus #100
AA-Springfield Cardinals
Location: Hammons Field, Trafficway & Hammons Pkwy., Springfield, MO
Distance from closest Amtrak (SED): 120 miles
Transit feasibility rating: D
Notes: Requires Greyhound from STL or Trailways from KCY, then bus #15 to #2 to #5. The only thing saving this from an F is that it's actually possible.
A Adv.-Palm Beach Cardinals
Location: Roger Dean Stadium, Main St. & University Blvd., Jupiter, FL
Distance from closest Amtrak (WPB): 16 miles
Transit feasibility rating: F
Notes: No transit options exist.
A-Quad Cities River Bandits
Location: Modern Woodmen Park, Gaines St. & River Dr., Davenport, IA
Distance from current closest Amtrak (GBB): 54 miles

Notes: Greyhound from CHI; the station is right across the street from the stadium. Even after the Quad Cities line opens, this is still the best option, as the Quad Cities do not operate trans-Mississippi transit.
