A Map Of Baseball Nation

The New York Times recently published a map of the United States, overlaid with colored regions which represent fan support for a particular baseball club in that area. You can click to zoom in, and find that the map is broken down by zip code. Each zip code also lists other favorite teams in the area. This aggregate data was provided by Facebook, based on who users have listed as their favorite team.

You have to feel a little bit bad for teams like the Oakland Athletics and the New York Mets, who have no representation on the large map.
