[RP TownTalk] Finally, hard data on Orioles/Nats allegiances

[Dwight Holmes]

The New York TImes has a new beautiful, interactive map showing, by county,
and zip code, what % of baseball fans have allegiance to which teams.

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04/24/upshot/facebook-baseball-map.html#10,39.117,-77.193

Zooming in on 20737 zip code, we find that it breaks down like this:

O's 29%
Nats 22%
Yankees 19%.

(data are from Facebook "likes" for each team, by zip code)

If you're puzzled, or amazed by the 19% of our town (broadly construed) who
are Yankees fans, consider places like Elko, Nevada where it breaks down
like this:

Yankees 16%
Giants 13%
Red Sox 12%

Or consider the poor Mets, who don't win a single zip code in the country,
apparently. Not even the one where their ballpark, Citi Field is located.
