Ballparks of baseball teams in GeoJSON

GeoJSON-Ballparks

Ballparks of Professional teams in GeoJSON.

Back in early 2014, Steve Pousty asked me if I had Lat/Longs for Major/Minor League ballparks. I pushed up a Gist and then realized this was a project worth putting effort into and defined the original goal to get all professional baseball team ballparks in GeoJSON format. I'm using Wikipedia to define "Professional Baseball" but it is only for a guide. My initial goal was to get all the North and South American teams (majors to rookie) mapped and then top tier teams from around the world. Below is a list of teams that have been mapped, ones that are currently being worked on and a to-do list. If you know of any teams outside of the New World that hasn't been mapped or isn't in the list below, I encourage you to add it so we can get it in. Right now we're only using points to map the stadiums.

I am exploring adding polygons to this dataset. As you can imagine this is a much bigger job than points but it is the logical next step. See an example here of AT&T Park: https://gist.github.com/cageyjames/fd2283fac4bd9f97ef415206bc04dd02

While OSM has many of these features, it's license is incompatible with this project so we'll need to digitize them.

There are over 450 ballparks around the world included. If you find a league I haven't added yet, please fork and add it in yourself.
