I admit it – I saw this graphic and immediate had to share it with commentary. Surprisingly to me, it shows that the Atlanta Braves have the most fans closest to their home than any other MLB team… and it’s truly not even close.
First of all: credit where credit is due: Paul Moehringer came up with this concept. He is a contributor to both Fangraphs and sister site the Hardball Times. It’s brilliant.
So with this map, you can point to a random spot in the US or Canada and figure out the closest MLB team by driving time.
