More Geographic Centering
2006-02-15 09:13
Following up on my mean geographic center story, lboros from Viva El Birdos has a couple of follow-up stories regarding Tuscumbia, Missouri, MLB's geographic center. A self-proclaimed "physics geek" commenter in the first story says that I did not account for the curvature of the earth in my calculations, which could make the actual center off by up to 10 miles. Perhaps. But Cooperstown isn't the actual birthplace of baseball, but everybody agrees to play along with the idea, because it's a nice story. So regardless of what the facts actually happen to be, let's all let Tuscumbia have its fun, OK?
