baseball stoopid stats (2016 edition) #3: wins, losses and games over 500 (by location)

In my last post, I presented my graph of the cumulative games above 500 stat for every major league baseball franchise. That post was here.


One thing that I didn't mention is that I also track wins, losses and games over .500 by location. That is, grouping franchises by the location indicated ion their names. the "New York Yankees" are part of New York. The "Texas Rangers" are part of Texas. Note that, in this scheme, some franchises have different parts of their records attributed to different locations. For example, the Dodgers' record through 1957 is part of Brooklyn. Their record since 1958 is part of Los Angeles. There have been 54 different locations represented in the major leagues, and the graph is as follows:

The locations, listed in order of wins (most to least) is at right. Among locations that no longer have a franchise, the one with the most wins is Brooklyn.
