Maybe a stupid question?
I really don't care about the beach. I live 10 miles and less than 20 minutes away from the beach at home. Seeing another beach isn't a need on my list.
I am interested in watching the baseball...but also not going broke doing it.
Is it possible to get a better hotel deal if you are willing to go inland and west away from the coast? I'm fine being 30 minutes or so away from the field. I drive all the time and a 30 minute drive is like a short warm up for me.
