    if you were going to chose a city to start a mlb

    franchise, what city would it be? btw you can not chose any curent mlb city with multiple teams already.

    Portland, Las Vegas, Monterrey, an AL team in Houston, Sacramento, Vancouver all come to mind

    Oh yeah Indianapolis sounds like a good one too.

    I think Buffalo could be interesting.

    Carolina possibly. They support minor league ball really well. Louisville's always been good too, but I don't what sorts of population base these areas have to draw on.

    I moved Kansas City to New Orleans in my most recent BM dynasty but it hasn't worked out too well.
    Zack and Miri made a Morneau and now it Byrnes when he Peavy's.

    Carolina has the 3 major sports, it could support baseball. I think Oklahoma City could work out

    Orlando, Florida, plus they have a big field over at Disney's Wide World of Sports. And it is open to any team, exept during febuary and march, it is used by the Braves then.

    Yes, because the Florida sports market obviously can support another team

    Re: if you were going to chose a city to start a mlb

    I would so love to see MLB expand to 32 teams. 2 leagues. 4 divisions each.
    NO WILD CARD!

    possible locations?
    Charlotte
    Raleigh-Durham
    Memphis
    Indianapolis
    San Antonio
    Monterrey
    Mexico City
    North Virginia (DC & BAL would hate this)
    Upstate New York (This would impact PIT, TOR, & CLE)
    Columbus OH (largest city in Ohio!)
    Las Vegas (not until the gambling issue is taken care of)
    The "Inland Empire" east of LA & north of SD - San Bernardino & Riverside Counties combine to make the 14th largest metro area in the US.
    An argument can be made for a club in NJ.

    Personally I would add Charlotte & San Antonio (and if I were SA, I would be sure to go after the Hispanic market).

    32 teams is probably right, every time i do sims with 36 teams there just doesnt seem to be enough talent to go around and you get 125 loss teams regularly and all kinds of records smashed, once had a guy hit 77 homers in a season and over 800 for his career, his overall rating was only 84 i think...
