Cardinals country

The geographical center of Major League Baseball's 30 stadiums is Tuscumbia, Missouri, a hamlet of roughly 250 people along the Osage River in central MO. The precise center is by the Pea Ridge Road southeast of town. According to Mapquest, the spot is located 160.23 miles from the new Busch Stadium, and 161.54 miles from Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.

That's a winner! The Cardinals lie, literally, at the heart of American baseball.

The unemployed goofballs at baseballtoaster.com have calculated this and other geographical baseball centers by plugging in the latitudes and longitudes of ballpark locations.
