A Major League Baseball team can mean everything to its community. It serves as a unifier among the locals across multiple cities and municipalities. After all, MLB<\/a> teams typically only reside in major metropolitan areas. However, seeing as there are only 30 MLB teams across the American and National Leagues, that means that not every state has a team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To understand how unevenly MLB teams are spread<\/a> across the nation, consider that some states actually have more than one team while others have none at all. Let's take a closer look at the distribution of teams across the United States - which states have one team, which have more than one, and which don't have any. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most states that do have an MLB team only have one. These include eight states (and one city that hasn't achieved statehood): <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Arizona. <\/strong>The Arizona Diamondbacks play in Phoenix. <\/li>
  • Colorado. <\/strong>The Colorado Rockies call Denver their home.<\/li>
  • Georgia. <\/strong>Regarded as the team of the 90s, Georgia has the Atlanta Braves. <\/li>
  • Maryland. <\/strong>Apart from crab cakes and football, Maryland also has the Baltimore Orioles. <\/li>
  • Massachusetts. <\/strong>This state is home to the Boston Red Sox. <\/li>
  • Minnesota. <\/strong>The Minnesota Twins play in Minneapolis. <\/li>
  • Washington.<\/strong> The Seattle Mariners play in the shadow of Mount Rainier. <\/li>
  • Wisconsin. <\/strong>The Green Bay Packers may be this state's most popular team, but baseball fans here root for the Milwaukee Brewers. <\/li>
  • Washington, D.C. <\/strong>While not technically a state (though many of its residents would like it to be), the nation's capital is the home of the Washington Nationals.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    On top of those teams, there are also multiple states with more than one club calling it home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
