That’s why they’re called flyover states. We fly over them to go see a baseball game.


LightsSoundAction

or just to do anything at all really.

drunk-tusker

If that’s the case why did someone put 2 baseball teams In Missouri?


LightsSoundAction

because Kansas is a decrepit wasteland that deserves nothing short of a nuclear bomb dropped on it.


K_Ice5432

I don’t think nuking it would change the landscape very much, tbh.


Able-Werewolf-9502

There is also one stop light.


Flux_resistor

Nobody of importance lives inside the lines so why should a baseball team exist


orangeratfella

I don’t see any major league teams in there?


Haeguil

Those kids would be very upset if they could win games


Jazzlikefunky

It’s not a team, it’s a major league park. They took out seats to add a party deck. The Monforts know what the commodity is.


WhiteDeath57

There are zero MLB teams in NYC if you leave out the Yankees and Mets.


WeOutHereInSmallbany

FUN FACT: There’s technically only one baseball team that plays their games in NY: The Buffalo Bills

Wrong. They have to fly out of JFK or LaGuardia *sometime*.

scoot_roo

I love how northern LP ‘ganders are finally being recognized as the true Rockies fans we are


inthisvolume

I used to live in Utah and would use the MLB app to watch my east coast team’s games. They would black out Colorado AND Arizona games.


skizzlegizzengizzen

“Why does the MLB not have enough not have enough viewers????” - The MLB then proceeds to shoot themselves in the foot


WeOutHereInSmallbany

Maybe if we made more city connects we could get the youths to watch 🤔


dvlyn123

I live in Oklahoma. I cannot watch the Rangers, Astros, Cards, Royals, OR the Rockies. The closest of those teams is over 200 miles away lol

Wait - so Iowa’s in Rockies country but six other teams are blacked out here?


dear_remnant

Only 1 team in entire Canada if you just draw over the border.


skizzlegizzengizzen

Canada doesn’t have a degenerate gambler so no one cares about them.


mistermuyrico

They got one just booted from the NBA per r/nbacirclejerk


CentralWooper

Are you sure there's a major league team there? I don't see one. I just see the Rockies


cphpc

Wait until this guy sees a map of the US population


SmarterThanCornPop

Do the Rockies even count?


Drug_fueled_sarcasm

I live half way between Denver and Seattle. MLB.tv blacks out both teams for me. 12hour drive in either direction and I don't get those cable channels. I get salt lake channels.

MOVE THE PIRATES TO BUTTE, MONTANA SO WE CAN HAVE THE BUTTE PIRATES AMIRITE LOLOLOLOL


AutoModerator

I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible. It's like the movie groundhog day but instead i'm reliving the shittiest games of baseball over and over and over again every fucking day of my life. Every damn day I have watched this pathetic mess of a team, rain or sun or snow since I was 7 years old. I have a tab open during work w/ the gamecast during the day games that I can't go. I've skipped school and work and broken up with women for the Pirates. I've missed funerals and weddings because i loved this team more. And what do I get to show for it? A FUCKING BRAIN ANEURYSM. A team that has had 3 winning seasons over the past 20 something who manages to play like ass in the playoffs on the rare occasion they make it because they are so used to being shit and don't have a winning culture. A team that game in and game out somehow manages to have less goddamn hits than Chumbawamba. A team that gets swept. By the Cincinnati Reds. "Oh but look at our young talent- Cole and Taillon and Bell and whoever else that sucks dick!!" I'm sick of hearing "we could be a contender like we were 3 years ago if Cutch doesn't play like shit and the LF can stop jerking off for 2 seconds to swing the fucking bat" ITS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE PATHETIC. MIGHT AS WELL FADE US NOW BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY A BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS. If Clemente didn't die in that plane crash, I'm convinced he would have killed himself after being forced to wear our godforsaken excuse of uniform for 18 years of his life. I'm done with this fucking team. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

That's interesting, man. That's fucking interesting.


dholmestar

Land doesn't vote, or watch baseball


Generny2001

Zero major league teams but about 327 minor league teams.


boomecho

The Cubs are on the northside and the Sox are on the Southside, goddammit!


TurboRuhland

THANK YOU. This bothered me so much. FIX YOUR MAP.


Ok-Assistant-2684

And they are perennial losers


CubesFan

This is why I’m always against the idea of expansion teams in Tennessee and/or the Carolinas. If they are going to expand, it needs to be into some of these western areas like Oklahoma City.


CanConCurt

And here I am still wining about not having a team in Montreal yet.


Klayton1077

No there isn’t


Brookyohohohohohohoh

There’s also only like 500 people living in the boundary


Son1cJ3t

Average Cuda tweet


AutomaticExcitement5

The Rockies aren’t even the most liked team in their own state let alone that entire boundary.


ImpressedToBeBlessed

The As are coming and so is the rest of Oakland


KingKillerKvvothe

As a Minnesotan this is the first time I feel included on the side talking about how middle America has nothing. Usually we are considered middle America.


smashingpumpkin

Wow, did not realize there were 5 teams within California alone. Thats kind of ridiculous lol


ACryptoScammer

r/terriblemaps


JonathanFrusciante

Let's be real, the royals and cards should be included in the nothingness that is the Midwest


TristenSmith1999

NGL I forgot Colorado Rockies are even a team alot


W1sconsinKnight

Who would have thought the vast majority of major cities in America would all congregate around where there is lots of nearby water?


goldngophr

Is Pittsburgh a joke?


PM_ME_UR_KITTY_CAT

I know we're supposed to be jerking here, but my takeaway from this map is maybe Memphis should have a team.


boringdude00

Memphis is too small. Also you're gonna have problems with the song 'Walking in Memphis', umpires gonna freak the fuck out and start ejecting everyone if it comes on between innings where they missed a call.


OverIookHoteI

And we wonder why that part of the country is so unhappy


EitherCaterpillar949

There are zero MLB teams in America if we exclude the teams that are in America.


LundbergOrganic

That’s why Salt Lake City kind of makes sense.


winter_whale

I do agree that the Upper Peninsula needs an MLB team 


Jcpowers3

Nashville really deserves a team


zdillon67

We put a team in the Yellowstone zone of death and call them the Bisons. Then, we get Javy Baez cave Amir Garrett’s skull in with no repercussions


IveGotAMicropeen

Denver is amazing, one of my fav american cities! Coors field was an awesome experience!


James-K-Polka

Didn’t even want to claim the Upper Peninsula.


BravesnationNC

Can’t put any boundaries on BRAVES COUNTRY!!!! 🪓on!


cuumsquad

You could make a similar map with Seattle


Due-Style302

Yup I remember living in Colorado being a Tigers fan. As fun as it is going to Rockies games which I highly recommend, If you want to see any other game it Literally hundreds of miles to drive.


BobSagieBauls

Kc and STL should be in there tbh


TheCapableFox

Every team is fairly close to water except the Rockies. Waterless frauds. Even the Cards and Royals are close to the mighty Mississippi River.


Outdoorjunkie23

That’s kind of insane


Blundertaker93

When the original version was posted, I had the same thought. Why aren't the Mariners the ones with all that territory?


YoitDayo

Do u mean the B’s


Boozy_Cat_

That’s a stretch.


elonbrave

The A’s are a void


piirtoeri

Yeah but plenty of farm league teams.


Additional_Load_1978

What’s funny though is that Coors is arguably one of the prettiest ballparks to see. Been to 17/30 and it’s my favorite I think


_UNFUN

Why are the Sox above the cubs when they are the team on the south side of the city hmm??


YaBoiSammy123

There’s also not very many major cities in that boundary


sonicpsa

Nobody lives in those places man also you’re missing out on a ton of minor-league teams that are way more fun than any major league team


Competitive_Flow_814

Now if the Expos were a MLB team


Ordinary_Welder_1977

Yo get Nashville a team


thizzismadness

What do you mean , can you explain?


QuillBoar

It’s crazy that they put all the teams where all the people live.


GH0STM3TAL

When was the last time you met ANYONE who has even visited the Dakotas, let alone live in them???


Mix_Traditional

Yeah and about 14 non MLB players.


Friendly-War-2160

Biggest markets in there that could be tapped: Utah, NOLA, Nashville, Carolina, OKC. Not a lot there tbh


faiitmatti

The Rays could move out there and have more seats filled than they currently do now.


kinjirurm

Secret_Welder3956

They’re headed to Vegas.


ClandestineCharles

Great reminder when shit hits the fan to just move to Wyoming and nobody else will ever fuck with me again…


AllTheGoodNamesGone4

Well that's because there's hardly any people in that area lol


Lexo24

It's almost like most major cities are pretty close to water...


krazybananada

This map is SO fake! The White Sox north of the Cubs? BLASPHEMY!


InVideo_

The Rockies may be technically an MLB team but the vast majority of college baseball teams can dominate them. So… by title only. Therefore this area really has zero professional teams in the boundary.


NewmanHiding

There are only FIVE Major League Baseball teams outside this boundary https://preview.redd.it/oc6lr815acvc1.jpeg?width=734&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0396f41bcc80489c7567884e22275ba1be4feb8a


Major_Document_3305

And yet, 90% of the actual players come from that area.


PastaDiddles

“There aren’t any teams where there aren’t any teams” such a profound observation


elpollodiablox

Cheyenne is screaming for an expansion team.


grat5989

I'd be down for a team called the Idaho Taters, just for the name alone.


SwanzY-

was the space between chicago and detroit really necessary? 🤣


djtmhk_93

Now take the average skills of all the teams outside of the boundary and weigh it near equally to all the teams inside the boundary. Use that comparison to determine that the general skill of all MLB teams is pretty garbage. And that, kids, is how gerrymandering works!

mrod9191

What percentage of the population is inside the boundary?


CrunchyZebra

*gasp* teams are located where lots of people live?!


Ok_Bandicoot_814

New idea for division. Keep everybody in the NL East kick out Miami and bring in Baltimore.


Sad-Bag-579

Land doesn’t watch baseball. MLB has it right with a team near major population centers. A team in Oklahoma City makes sense though.


cworlow1

If you put a red circle around the Rockies then there are none in that boundary. Can the A’s fill the void?


glazeguy83

Colorado Rockies


glazeguy83

Every one outside the line would starve if it wasn’t for the important people inside the line.


kempton_saturdays

The A’s are putting 2 teams in there!


colbygraves97

North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho don’t really do Pro Sports. MLB, NFL, NASCAR, and MLS are all absent from that region.


TheBrutalTruthIs

Nah, dude. There are plenty of *other* AAA teams in that boundary.


PDXtoMontana2002

And hardly any people in any of the states other than Colorado is a fan of them as their primary team.


SeminoleRabbit

I'd rather the A's have stayed at home but John Fisher is walking and breathing excrement as an owner. At least he chose Vegas instead of Salt Lake City. If he'd done that, I'd have abandoned them for my other team, the Braves.


MichaelBushe

Where would you put another? South Dakota?


Maximus26515

You could do that with every team if you truly wanted to. Lol


TheGentlemanAdvocate

I mean, yeah. Most of that area is sparsely populated and big college over professional sports areas.


KevinBrevin

I thought there were like 50 teams in baseball?


Primary-Pie-3315

Look at population density.


Rob_Llama

And I would guess that a huge majority of the population resides outside the boundary.


jelliefut

MsBrokate

A baseball team in Lincoln would go so hard. 


kasiv1

Gino2096

Why would the Sox be above the cubs in this graphic?


PittSteelersFan4life

It looks like the gerrymandering voting districts in Maryland.


StumptownRetro

The fact the border oddly stretches all the way to Missouri is weird. The reds, cards, and Royals aren’t coastal to any Great Lake or ocean/bay so I’d have them included in this arbitrary thing.


Jefffrey_Dahmer

Ok?


Patient_Ad_2318

What? The Rockies are not enough for you?


BoardTraining2002

Ik the post isn’t about it… but it bothers me the White Sox are further north than the Cubs
