Default Batting Cages?

I've been hankering to hit in batting cages for a while now, and the last time I remember seeing a batting cage was probably some 6 or 7 years ago. Are there any cages in Philadelphia in or near Center City?

There's one in Conshohocken I've been meaning to check out. I dunno the name or street address but it's clearly visible on your right when going southbound on the blue route between the Ridge Avenue and route 23 exits.

I don't know of any in CC, but there are nice batting cages in Burholme Park on Cottman Ave. in NE Philly just adjacent to the Montgomery County line.

local.google.com found me this:

________________________________________
City Line Sports Center, 7900 City Line Ave Philadelphia 215/879-3506

Located on City Line Avenue and adjacent to The Olde Course at Cobb’s Creek, is the City Line Sports Center, an ideal spot for family entertainment. This multi-functional property features a 32-stall lighted driving range, an 18-hole mini-golf course, and eight baseball & softball cages.

Now hopefully this place still exists.

I went there a couple years ago. It seemed pretty nice but it was crowded on a Thursday night.

You don't happen to know what the closest public transit stop to that place is, do you? I'm struggling in this thread.
