Baseball cities and geographical locations

[m4rk6]

So I want to balance the divisions, add 2 expansion teams to the AL to make t 4-4-4-4. Problem is, I'm not from the US, never been there so I'm not really sure where all the teams are located.

I know where some of the cities are, but checking several baseball maps, the distributions don't seem to be that even. I'm sure somebody has done this before, mind sharing how you distributed your cities? Where you added the expansion teams?

I've got no problems with the expansion draft, just locating the cities.

Just an idea:

AL West
Los Angeles Angels
Oakland A's
Texas Rangers
Seattle Mariners

AL East
New York Yankees
Boston Red Sox
Baltimore Orioles
Toronto Blue Jays

AL North
Minnesota Twins
Detroit Tigers
Cleveland Indians
Chicago White Sox

AL South
Kansas City Royals
Tampa Bay Rays
New Orleans ???????
Memphis ????????

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

Only problem is, you can't add divisions.

^^^Well thats a big problem for your idea. You could move the Astros to the AL West that way every division would have 5 teams.

Doesn't the ingame scheduler have trouble with leagues that aren't even?

Seattle Mariners
Oakland Athletics
Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim

Oh. Wonder what I was thinking, there are only 3 divisions. :P
Yeah, that looks good. Vancouver and Portland.

Once I moved the Padres to the AL and the Cardinals down to the NL West and the in game scheduler got really screwed up.

Make sure you take the Vancouver in Canada (I believe that one is listed as Vancouver,BC) which has a population of 600,000 or so and not Vancouver, WA (sorry Ohms, it just doesnt cut it for an MLB team :D) which has a population around 150,000.

Or you could just take both and not take Portland. Vancouver, WA is a suburb of Portland so they should get Portland's Metropolitan stats. But if you do use Portland, make sure to take the one in Oregon, not Maine.

If you added both to the AL West, move one AL West team to the AL Central

5-6-5, 5-6-5 schedules should work fine.

And Texas is the most logical choice as they are the farthest West team from the Pacific coast.
