    Interesting. #1 and #2 were easy it was #3 that gave me a hard time.

  5. Greg, the Marlins have the Tampa Bay Rays nearby, so they’re much further down the list.

  9. Don’t forget San Diego, Scott — it’s only about 300 miles from Phoenix.

  10. But which two teams are the closest? I’m having trouble measuring it exactly, but it seems the Yankees and Mets just edge out the Cubs and White Sox at somewhere around 8 miles as the crow flied. Can anyone confirm?
