Uh, the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy metropolitan statistical area was the 10th largest in the United States in 2008, with an estimated population of 4,544,705. The smallest metropolitan statisical area with a major league team in 2008 was Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, which had an estimated population of only 1,550,451. It ranked 39th in the U.S.

If you go by Nielsen local television market size, then in 2008 Boston was the 7th largest market in the United States. Milwaukee was again the smallest with a major league team, it ranked 34th.
