[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1949634, member: 748116"] The larger markets that are baseball HOTBEDS are out... except for the Trolley Dodgers. Texas and Georgia is football country. Philly is into baseball but NOT a legacy baseball power. And Phoenix is in the middle of endless sand in a waterless desert populated by people who came there from elsewhere... that have loyalties to many other teams. Usually the Chicago North Side ball club or LA. As I said earlier... I'm not taking anything away from fans of those teams. Everyone wants to taste success. But it is the combination of being a huge city PLUS being a baseball hotbed or legacy power that changes the dynamic. Side note: Though no fan of The 'Stros... may Jose Abreu hit lots more home runs. He gave the White Sox his heart. And They showed him The Door. [/QUOTE]
