“The United Countries of Baseball”
It doesn’t really matter how accurate this map is - and it can hardly be accurate, given the subject - but the concept is awfully cool.

A hearty chuckle for the Unincorporated Territories!
Yeah, I’d quibble with the accuracy, ’cause ain’t no one round here gives two nickles for the Marlins. No one. We do have a minor league team that gets a lot more respect.
And if it were accurate, there’d be one tiny orange speck in Florida representing the Orioles, because I grew up north of Baltimore in the 60s where and when baseball was played by men who knew how to play it: Boog, Frank, Brooks, etc.
Once an Orioles fan, always an Orioles fan.
I liked the blackout map somebody down in the comments of that piece linked to. Interesting overlaps…
