The Padres seem to have a small footprint and even in their home market, it’s under 50%.

Hard to believe it's already been posted. But here's baseball's "blackout" map.

Well, at least the Padres HAVE a footprint. The Mets don’t even merit a toe print.

No A’s, Mets or White Sox.
No Blue Jays.
This was around for a while. NY Times regurgitates.

I don’t see the Toronto Blue Jays here. They are in upstate New York right?
To: SamAdams76
Ontario is pretty well divided between Tigers and Blue Jay fans.

I don't know if you are joking but the Blue Jays are nothing in Buffalo. It's Yankee territory with a few Red Sox contrarians who hate the Yanks.

Why the hell are there so many Yankees fans in Louisiana?
To: Monmouth78
Radio only had Yankees games on back in the ‘ole days. Braves were still in Milwaukee at that time.

Well, somebody has to keep rotating the bodies...

Yankees seem to be the favorite team of places without obvious geographical loyalties, or maybe especially areas with no radio or television coverage of a team: Central Nebraska, Montana, Oklahoma, etc.
Be aware that this is based on Facebook followers, not necessarily actual fans. Lots of young black folks in Louisiana might dream of New York, for example.

Let’s have a survey of which teams receive the most national TV coverage. That will explain the popularity of the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers in “unexpected” places.
To: Misterioso
Sure. Media coverage makes a huge difference. That’s why baseball’s blackout rules are so idiotic. Bud Selig is a Yankees butt boy.

In 5 years I have not known a Giants game to be blacked out.
CSNBA carries about 145 games/yr, other stations carry another 10 or so.
The remainder were never purchased by a network.

I’m not sure you understand what baseball blackouts are.
