How circular is a selection that is a half mile "high" by 3000 miles "long"? Not very. That is more of a strip. Nearly a line depending on the map scale. So by manipulating Lat and Long one can get all sorts of ovoids, from very flat to perfectly round. It's a circular world out there, which is what Lat and Long describe, so of course the shapes they produce are always rounded.

You realize, of course, that I'm just busting your chops about it since your idea is probably better than mine, right?

Though I'm still right about the number and sizes of the minors in relation to the majors... but that's really a separate matter from the cities making up a particular minor league circuit.

That is why I was busting you back. Back busting is one of the things I do best. Also sitting in comfy chairs.

There's a good, crude joke in there somewhere, but darn it, I can't figure it out. Oh well... it would have been a great zinger!

Suggestion

To not have Speed, Base Running, and Base Stealing basically act as one attribute. It seems that every fast person is listed as a great base runner and base stealer, and the opposite being so for a slower running. In real life, the fastest blazer may be a TERRIBLE baserunner and just an "Ok" base stealer. While a slower runner may be the best base runner in the game and be a good base stealer.
