on the 2002 CWS squad. Of the 36 players listed on the roster 25 hailed from what I would consider cold-weather states. There is room for debate here but 14 players came from OH, IL, and IN. Three from FL. One from CA. 2 from TX. One from HI. Surprisingly none came from KY or MI. The roster did reflect a national flavor with 21 different states represented.

The breakdown:

IL - 7
OH - 6
FL - 3
TX - 2
MD - 2
TN - 1
NY - 1
WA - 1
IA - 1
VA - 1
PA - 1
MO - 1
NJ - 1
NC - 1
CA - 1
IN - 1
AR - 1
OK - 1
HI - 1
MN - 1
Can - 1

Just food for thought...
