Map shows the most popular MLB team in every US county

Facebook has produced a map showing which Major League Baseball team is most popular in every county across the US, as well as Canada as a whole, and some interesting patterns emerge.

Here is the map:

Some interesting notes:

• It stinks to be the second team in a small geographic area. The New York Mets and Oakland A's are the only teams not represented. The Chicago White Sox, however, do have a small slice in Chicago's South Side. The Toronto Blue Jays are represented only in Canada.
• The New York Yankees are the most popular team in at least one county in 24 states and tend to be the go-to team in areas with no nearby franchise.
• California is more pro-San Francisco Giants, who dominate in central and northern California, than the Los Angeles Dodgers, who claim most of southern Cali.
• The Giants dominate most of Hawaii, while Alaska is split between the Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Seattle Mariners.
• Last year's World Series teams, the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals, had the biggest growth in number of counties from 2014 to 2015.
