Batter Up! America's Pastime Is Back

Sports fans across the nation are eagerly awaiting the first pitch of traditional opening day for the 2024 Major League Baseball season. From Tampa Bay to Toronto, all 30 teams will play ball today.

The national pastime comes to us courtesy of 29 teams from 25 metropolitan areas across the United States and one team from Canada. The American League and the National League each have five teams in three divisions: East, Central, and West.

A metropolitan statistical area is a geographic entity delineated by the Office of Management and Budget for use by federal statistical agencies. Metro areas consist of the county (counties) associated with at least one urban area with a population of at least 50,000 plus adjacent counties with a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured through commuting ties.

Explore the cities and states of your favorite teams through U.S. Census Bureau profiles that provide population counts as well as social, demographic, and economic data.
