Someone has to fight over all that unincorporated territory. The bears and eagles and wolves have to be converted to baseball too.

I've seen this many times before. I love it. I do wonder where they got their data from to form it.

My wild-ass guesses would be a combination of fan surveys, Nielsen ratings and merchandise sales tracking.

I'd say someone just had too much free time and made shit up.

Yeah I used this as a desktop for years in all honesty. It is a cool map even if I don't think it is terribly accurate.

I personally thought that the White Sox territory was way too small. As others have noted, this probably isn't exactly accurate, although you'd expect most of Iowa to be Cubs fans as denoted so at least some of it is based in reality.

Isn't Indiana pretty big White Sox territory?
