that's exactly the case for why chicago has two MLB teams.
it's just a hold over legacy from the olden days when MLB was entirely contained within the northeast quandrant of the country.
if they were handing out MLB franchises from scratch today in 2019, there's no way that chicago ends up with two teams.
