With the minors, I had a harder time - I divided the AAA league into 6 divisions of 4, one division per state. I was left with a host of Massachusetts cities I wanted to use but couldn't, and really had to stretch for Maine and Vermont. Then I used AA and A to populate teams in areas that had been neglected.
Logos and unis will be a ways down the road still, but AA has the Cape Cod League (as-is, with two additional teams), and the Interstate League, with teams situated along I-95 and I-91. A-Ball consists of the Conn-Mass League (self-explanatory), the Greater Boston League for the Boston suburbs, and the Maine Woods League, just for fun up in the middle of nowhere.

Make sure you include the worst team name of all time in your minor league: the Fiskdale Fisters, a casual baseball league team in my area.

It is my job to see that the game is fairly played and that everybody has an equal chance. I think if I do that, I can face my Maker with a clear conscience."
