The Only Baseball Map You'll Ever Need

This unmitigated piece of brilliance is from the great Strange Maps Web site: It's a geographical breakdown of the United States by its baseball teams. (You can see it much larger on their site.)

We have a few quibbles — the sections for the Royals, Nationals and Braves seem too large; the Orioles, Dodgers and Yankees too small — but this is the type of thing you put on the desktop of your computer. And we couldn't be happier to see that swath of Cardinals red across the middle, including Mattoon and Arkansas.
