@Brett J. Lewis: The only reason that I can think of is the cities where they play. I suppose Boston is a bigger market than the Atl. However When you sell Heyward its not just in the Atlanta market. It’s the entire southeastern region seeing as how we really only have one mlb team (excluding marlins and rays).
