Distances that teams have to travel

[Cubway]

I thought it would be interesting to find out what is the greatest and shortest distances the teams have to travel. What is the greatest distance that a minor league team has to travel to play a team in their league both by bus and by plane(triple A)? Also, what is the greatest and shortest average distance that a team has to travel considering all the teams in their league both by bus and by plane?

I don't know exactly which teams would have the average longest and shortest trips between opponents, but the PCL probably has the longest average and the AZL probably has the shortest average. The PCL ranges from Tennessee to California and in the AZL, most teams play within minutes of each other.

In the Southern League, the two teams that have to travel the greatest distance when they play each other is the Carolina Mudcats and the Miss. Braves (839 miles).

The shortest distance that two teams have to travel is the Birmingham Barrons and the Montgomery Biscuits (93 miles).

 

The team that has the greatest average distance to travel is the Carolina Mudcats (an average of 594 miles that they have to travel to play a team in the Southern League) followed closely by the Jacksonville Suns (524 miles average).

The shortest average distance is the Birmingham Barrons (272 miles per game average).

 

The West TN Diamond Jaxx have to travel 390 miles per game average).

 

Carolina 594 miles average per game

Jacksonville 514

Mississippi 420

West TN 390

Mobile 383

Tennessee 372

Montgomery 295

Chattanooga 294

Birmingham 272

 

All of these games are by bus since the Southern League is double AA.

 

How do other leagues compare?
