I remember reading somewhere that during the 1902 and 1952 MLB seasons, there was a proposal for the current cities with a single team, to have a second team. Not sure how accurate this information was. Maybe someone can verify this?
Anyways, maybe someone can do a series showing expansion teams in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Washington DC?
Could any of these cities be in contention?
San Antonio
Austin
El Paso
Tucson
Fresno
Inland Empire (San Bernadino/Riverside)
Salt Lake City
I'll also throw some Mexican cities into the mix:
Mexico City
Guadalajara
Monterrey
So the following farm teams are both not geographically close and do not have direct flights between each other.
How would you better realign the following teams? Do a parent/farm swap? Or move a farm team closer to their parent team?
AAA
• Rochester Red Wings with the Twins
• El Paso Chihuahuas with the Padres
• Fresno Grizzlies with the Nationals
• Oklahoma City Dodgers with the Dodgers
• San Antonio Missions with the Brewers
• Wichita Wind Surge with the Marlins
AA
• Hartford Yard Goats with the Rockies
• Richmond Flying Squirrels with the Giants
• Biloxi Shuckers with the Brewers
• Jackson Generals with the Diamondbacks
• Pensacola Blue Wahoos with the Twins
• Rocket City Trash Pandas with the Angels
• Amarillo Sod Poodles with the Padres
• Arkansas Travelers with the Mariners
• Midland Rockhounds with the A's
• Tulsa Drillers with the Dodgers
Has anyone considered doing concept ideas for the following leagues?
WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association)
NWHL (National Women's Hockey League)
MLR (Major League Rugby)
MLL (Major League Lacrosse)
AUDL (American Ultimate Disc League)
I recall also reading that some MILB teams could become more geographically aligned with their big league counterpart.
If this is the case, who can you see being moved around and to where?
Since it seems that the most generic nicknames are of the Defenders, Dragons, Battlehawks, and Wildcats, what nickname would have you given DC, Seattle, St. Louis, and Los Angeles?
For filling in the two gaps for the NE and the West, could you see teams in either Hartford, Bridgeport, Providence, Quebec City, London, or Halifax for the NE Division? And Reno, Spokane, Fresno, Portland, Boise, or SLC for the West Division?
