The North American Sports Map

I was bored surfing the internet the other day, and I remembered an argument I had heard about how East Coast and Eastern Conference teams have it easier than West Coast and Western Conference teams, because all the teams are located in a much smaller area, therefore they have less time spent, and less stress on themselves while traveling, enabling them to play better. I decided to check it out and see how close all the teams really were. After an hour of no luck searching for a map with all the sports teams in the US and Canada on it, I decided to give up, and make my own.
So, here they are...
First, the American Sports Map, which has all 122 professional sports teams in the four major leagues, the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL.
There is also a separate map for each sport: MLB Map, NBA Map, NFL Map, NHL Map.
And, I went a little further, and made a separate map for each state (and province) with a professional team. They aren't all to scale, but they are all pretty decent representations on the locations of the teams in a particular state: Alberta, Arizona, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland/Washington, D.C., Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Ontario, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington State, and Wisconsin.
I never knew until doing this that the Washington Redskins play in Maryland... Maybe you'll learn something too.
