If you live in Casper Wyoming or Billings Montana, what Major League Baseball team to you root for? |

Both cities are pretty isolated from "major league cities". I can see them being fans of Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies or Minnesota Twins. How far off am I?

2. The one your heart tells you to |

I don't believe in fandom based strictly on geography. If I did, I wouldn't be a Dodgers fan.

6. I checked the Mariners site |
|
It says they have a teevee affiliate in Idaho, and of course there's Fox Sports Northwest. Overall, the site says, "Most fans should be able to watch 140 games."
The M's are well-stocked with radio, too — three stations in Idaho and five in Montana.
Best I could find for the Twins is a radio station in Dickinson, N.D. — their farthest west — but it's only 5,000 watts and wouldn't likely reach into Montana.
With cable/satellite, though, you can watch pretty much any ball games you want, if you want to spend the money for the premium package.

5. If you asked everybody there, my guess is that it's the Cubs. |
|
Cubs and Braves were on TV there regularly for decades. Probably has been turing over to Rockies over past 15 years.
