A couple of things discovered through the map were not unexpected at all. And a couple of things revealed in the map did surprise me. Growing up in Connecticut I always felt like the state was uniformly divided in between Yankees and Red Sox fans (with a couple of oddball Mets fans sprayed in), but according to this map the state is predominantly a Red Sox state.
It is totally possible that a group is more popular in a county than another but the fans of that team are more active shoppers. Another flaw is that the map just shows which team is most popular in the county but does not reveal how much more popular it is than another team. It is possible that a county could be divided 49% to 51% in favor of one group.
Due to the fact that I believe that it might be an excellent tool for introducing students to the subtlety of information analysis and adjustment, applications for EducationIm sharing this map. The map might also be used as a design for how to represent information through maps or through infographics.

A couple of things found through the map were not unexpected at all. Growing up in Connecticut I constantly felt like the state was equally divided between Yankees and Red Sox fans (with a couple of oddball Mets fans sprayed in), however according to this map the state is predominantly a Red Sox state.
Another flaw is that the map only shows which team is most popular in the county however doesnt reveal how much more popular it is than another group.

The Major League Baseball season began the other day. This morning while I was skimming some highlights of yesterdays video games, I was reminded of a cool map that I cam across a few years back..
