whoa, calm down down there. Seemed like a bit too much anger built up there. Let me guess...Royals fan? Bitter Astros' fan? Either way, I know you have no idea about the whole Yankee/Red Sox, Boston/New York thing because if you did you'd never had said some a ridiculous thing as "you just want to be Yankees". The fact is, yes there are more teams out there but here's the thing: they don't bring in the ratings, which is a shame for MLB. The White Sox/Astros WS was the worst rated WS in the past 20 yrs (or something along those lines). Sports in larger markets (Boston, NEw York, LA) will ALWAYS stand out more than those in smaller ones (Kansas City, Texas, Florida, etc) for two simple reasons: Media do fans. The media is smaller and the fans from the bigger markets are spread out throughout the country, spreading their excitement for their original hometown teams and thus creating a much larger market for them both media-wise and marketability-wise. For every fan that is sick and tired of hearing about a big market team, there's 3 that aren't.
