I have started working on a side project and would love for ya'll to take a look and provide some feedback. I built a website that maps all of the professional baseball teams across the U.S. b/c there was no existing way for me to see this. http://www.thebaseballmap.com is what I have as of right now. Currently the map plots MLB, AAA, AA, A, and Rookie level ball. Those are all the blue dots. I'd love for the map to also plot historical baseball locations, which I've started doing with the red dots.<p>If you are a baseball fan and I can have 2 min. of your time for some feedback, keep reading! Otherwise, Happy Fourth!<p>Some questions I have:<p>Should the app focus more on plotting all of the teams of the past/present or on plotting the stadiums of the past/present? Similar. but not the same.<p>Specifically, would you be more interested in viewing info about the stadiums, and leaving comments/ratings for those stadiums?<p>If I implemented user submission, would you contribute a baseball related location to the map?<p>What sort of related locations would you be interested in contributing/viewing?
Looks good. I would make make different colored dots (or styled differently) for MLB, AAA, AA, etc clubs. It would also be cool if I could select a major league team and its minor league affiliates light up.
I've really got no deeper knowledge of baseball, but could it really be possible that several states have no professional team? (Wyoming/North Dakota/South Dakota/Rhode Island)
Not sure how much an absolute scale makes sense, but isn't at least one of the top 3 US national sports?<p>Minor nitpick: for some of the states it's really hard to discern the borders. And for foreigners like me who don't have all of them memorized... maybe slap the 2 letter abbreviation there as well.<p>Edit: Cool project, btw :)
