	the regions are a bit off. Pittsburgh is not a northeastern city, and if it is, so is Cleveland.

	Pittsburgh isn't in the northeast? Look at a map.

	pittsburgh is in the northeast. just because it isn't ACTUALLY in the the northeast, it is in a northeastern state. so shut the f- really long censor up!

	Keep in mind, these appear to be the regions as defined by the US Census Bureau, which doesn't split up states in the making of these regions.

	...and, by the end of the decade, every one of those areas had an American or National League baseball team. On the other hand, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis, which had begun the decade with at least two major-league teams (NY & Brooklyn had 3 between them), were down to one each. In 1960, only Chicagoans had a local choice of teams. [The five gainers before expansion were San Francisco, L.A., Baltimore, Kansas City and Milwaukee.] ¶ And, yes, the Census Bureau's standard metropolitan statistical areas (as they used to be) did sometimes cross state lines: New York City's included parts of Connecticut & New Jersey, for example, and Boston's part of New Hampshire.

	While technically correct that New York was down to one team in 1960, it got back to two in 1962, and would probably not have lost the Dodgers if the city had made any effort at all to keep them. It wasn't that the city couldn't support two teams (as it obviously still is today)but rather specific negotiations on the location of a replacement ballpark which lured the Dodgers and Giants away.
