Think about it, for many many decades, huge swaths of the country were nowhere near any major league team (unless you think the PCL was a quasi major league). I'm not talking about states in relative proximity to St. Louis or Chicago, but what if you were in the Deep South, or Texas, or the Mountain West, or the West Coast, did people there tend to root for any particular team or was it just a hodgepodge? Were California fans more in tune with the PCL? I guess I've read somewhere that fans in the South tended to root for the Cardinals, but I don't know if that's an overgeneralization.
