Just for curiosity I counted the number of "active" players that have appeared at the MLB level based on which state they were born in. Baseball Almanac actually has that info. I checked about 10 states (see below), but anyone can check any state they want at the Baseball Almanac site.

Here are the results from the states I checked...

California - 230 (WOW!)

Texas - 118

Florida - 110

Georgia - 51

Illinois - 37

New York - 32

North Carolina - 27

Virginia - 23

Arizona - 22

New Jersey - 21

Of course, this is just one way to look at things, but still kind of revealing IMO.
