A “watershed” between territories of fans of two baseball teams. 

 

In 2006, researchers from Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University set out to define the borderline
between baseball fans loyal to the New York Yankees and fans loyal to the Boston Red Sox. 

Research techniques included interviews, checking sales of baseball caps and other merchandise with team logos,
 and even sales of locally made cookies with the different teams’ logos.

Rocky Hill, Connecticut,
is the midpoint between the teams’ homes of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, and Fenway Park in Boston,
but the dividing line of team loyalties was found to lie slightly south of it. 

The choice of a boundary line simplifies the landscape,
however, making two distinct areas instead of what is probably two overlapping areas of intensity. 

Do you think there are no Red Sox fans in New York and no Yankees fans in Boston?
