I'm also a lifelong Phillies fan, and have encountered that same hearbreak.
The first time I ever saw the Phillies live was at old Connie Mack Stadium in north Philadelphia, and I remember riding one of the P&W "Bullet" cars from Norristown to 69th Street in Upper Darby, where we caught a shuttle bus to the game.
The Pennsy's Philly-New York main line was just a couple blocks from the stadium, and if you knew where to look you could trainwatch while also taking in the game, just like you can "catch" the Amtrak, Sounder and BNSF trains going by Safeco Field in Seattle.
