A redrawing of the Jeter-Papi line

posted Apr 24, 2014

jeter papi line nytA follow up on the very important matter of the Jeter-Papi Line that divides New York from the rest of the Northeast: The New York's Times' new Upshot site/blog/explainer product got a hold of the Facebook data used for that previous major league baseball fan map and created an interactive fan map with more detail.

Two quick things:

+ The Jeter-Papi line actually runs through Western Massachusetts, southern Vermont, and then -- gasp -- into New York State along Lake Champlain.

+ Outside a few counties in the Hudson Valley, the Red Sox registered as having more fans than the Mets in just about every other upstate New York county.

(Thanks, Tim)

WSBK was on cable throughout the Erie Canal cities all the way to Buffalo. As I hate to admit...there is a significant (particularly with some of the wannabe "Southies" ) fanbase in Syracuse.
