      Note: Also, this is only showing American-born players on the rosters. My apologies to Jordan Mailata, Sydney Brown, George Karlaftis III, Lewis Cine, and Moro Ojomo if you’re viewing this post.

      I like it!

      How many had more than one from the county? If there were a good amount you could do a shade scale to indicate more or less total players from a county.

      Nice. County size is a bit of a challenge in representing data this way. Virginia in particular has some “independent cities” that look like dots and I honestly can’t tell if they are filled in. Louisiana has a bunch of small parishes (as doe much of the South) and seeing them be equivalent to a guy from San Bernardino County in CA is a bit misleading.

      TIL: **San Bernardino County** in California is the **largest county in the United States by land area**, covering **20,105 square miles** (~52,000 km²).

      A total of **9 U.S. states** have a **smaller land area** than San Bernardino County:

      1. **Rhode Island** – 1,034 sq mi
      2. **Delaware** – 2,489 sq mi
      3. **Connecticut** – 4,842 sq mi
      4. **New Jersey** – 7,354 sq mi
      5. **New Hampshire** – 8,953 sq mi
      6. **Vermont** – 9,216 sq mi
      7. **Massachusetts** – 10,554 sq mi
      8. **Hawaii** – 10,931 sq mi
      9. **Maryland** – 12,406 sq mi

      It’s wild that San Bernardino county is larger than Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware.

      Looks larger than Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
