Milwaukee Brewers

Baseball Economist author J.C. Bradbury concedes that there is some big-market advantage: His own regression analysis finds that every additional 1.58 million residents in a market generate an extra win per season.

In comparing the biggest-market Yankees to the smallest-market Milwaukee Brewers, size alone would project a New York team winning 10.6 more games in ten seasons. Between 1995 and 2004, however, Bradbury finds the Bronx Bombers won 26.3 more games on average.

Thus, he concludes, city size only accounts for 40 percent of the difference in wins. What accounts for the other 60 percent? Bradbury attributes it partly to the ineptitude or skill of the teams' front offices.
