Is this a test of endurance before you can become a MLB umpire? Just the logistics of getting from Cleveland at 11PM and arriving in Pawtucket the next morning would baffle me.

It's part of the "game" for these guys. In the old days, MiLB guys would work a night game, get in the car and
drive 200 miles for a double header the next day. I don't know if they still do this today.
