The largest metropolitan areas without a major league team are
Inland Empire (San Bernadino/Riverside), which is larger than 11 of
the cities that currently have teams, and Portland, which is larger
than three of them, and Sacramento and Orlando, which are both larger
than KC, which is the smallest major league city.

Other alternatives like San Antonio, Silicon Valley (San Jose, etc.),
Las Vegas, Columbus, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Buffalo, Louisville,
Memphis, etc. are all smaller than any current major league city.

Greater New York divided into thirds leaves enough population per team
to be bigger than any current single-team city. One third of LA is
still bigger than Boston.

Just FYI.

Nice stuff. I think that baseball does not do great in the south for
whatever reason. Even the braves, a super franchise, do not draw that
well. I can't imagine another Fla team. I'd be delighted with another
NY team, but ONLY if it was an AL team.

If that Marlin team were moved to the AL and NY, it would be an
absolute powerhouse in a few years if a reasonable percentage of their
terrific prospects pan out. But not if Fla, since they will trade them
away as soon as the get even a little expensive. A tean that can't
afford to keep Miggy Cabrera even two years before arbitration is too
poor (or cheap) to be in MLB.
