An extremely in depth exploration of why teams ended up in the cities they did (including the '60s expansion teams) and the politics behind it all. While 2+ hours long well worth the time. I was not aware that for a brief period in the early '50s that the Cardinals considered moving to Houston.

Thanks for posting this. I'll watch when I have time.

The advent of air conditioning changed the demographics of the whole country. Baseball's relocation fest of the 50s-70s mirrored this.
