I did a post recently about the MLS players in California and it piqued my interest in the specifics of where all of the other US born MLS players are from. I put together a list from MLSnet and made up this map that shows where the players are coming from.
Texas is way behind the 49 players from California, but they do have the second most players in MLS with 16. Colorado comes in 3rd place with 12 players which is pretty impressive considering that the land of the Rockies is only the 22nd most populated state in the nation with just over 4 million people.
