*DSFL Geographic Roster Analysis - dogwoodmaple - 10-04-2020
Here, we'll take a look at the current DSFL rosters from a geographic perspective. Which players had to travel the longest distance to their DSFL homes? Any local prospects out there? Let's find out.
First, let's talk methodology.
- I used "as the crow flies" distance between each team's home city and each player's hometown.
- If a player did not have a birthplace listed, I used their college city.
- If a player had a state/country listed as birthplace and no city, I used that state/country's capital.
- If they did not have a birthplace or college, I excluded them.
- If their birthplace was fictional, not on Earth, or difficult to actually pin down (i.e. Arctic Ocean), I excluded them.
- I rounded up/down as needed.

This is awesome! Great idea and an entertaining read as always, Dogwood.
Just want to quickly point out that something is wrong with the Portland section - SF is clearly closer to Portland than LA is.
