The Big Map of Professional Baseball

,

This is the geography of professional baseball, including all known major and minor leagues in the United States and abroad. Each marker represents the home city of a professional team. We appreciate any and all feedback, but updates will happen sporadically as we find the time! Github

To-do list of improvements to the map:

  • Add in missing major pro leagues in other countries, especially Latin America.
  • Add in missing minor leagues.
  • Add icons distinguishing leages, or where available, teams.
  • Add links to wiki page and home page for each team.
  • Find way to represent traveling teams.

Much further down the line:

  • Realign markers to actual home stadium coordinates.
  • Add in time dimension: using timeline, show when clubs form, move, and/or disband.
  • Add in historical leagues: Women's, Negro, and other now defunct major leagues
