The city of Cincinnati is still fairly new, and they have a lot of work to do. You can see in the old aerial photo below they have some access to fishing resources and a lot of timber for production, so the potential for growth is there. Workers have been sent across the ocean to assist and have begun constructing lumber mills. Eventually they will be able to grow to the point where they can build their own Stadium, but not quickly. However, if the League itself becomes wealthy enough and they want to expand for the glory of Baseball, they might send construction teams with all the resources necessary to build one (and the Colosseum and Zoo that are prerequisites).
At some point when the country is disgustingly wealthy that is the plan - found a slew of cities and establish stadiums to bring Baseball to every corner of the globe.
For a starting city whose total production might be somewhere between 5 and 15, this wouldn't finish until 2025. But they will grow and increase their annual production - the forest resources and hills for mining will be a significant asset in that regard, and if they construct a Lighthouse they will receive production from ocean tiles also*.
* I should mention that I'm running Civ V with all of the expansions, and the Lighthouse production benefit was added in Brave New World.
Edit: Baseball's representative in Cincinnati has delivered the following report:
"There are three fishing resources (one of them an oyster bed with pearls), a place to drill for oil offshore, herds of wild deer, and the island north of the frost line is covered in forest. Also, scouts have discovered an asteroid impact site they are calling the Barringer Crater that will be valuable for scientific research." This sounds like a good recipe for growth.
