States that don't sanction baseball???

I grew up in Wyoming and at the time (1990) we were the 4th largest city in the state with 19K residents.  Likely the issue is community size and then the cost/expense to travel.  The nearest "big city" to the east was Rawlins 108 miles away.

Not sure I understand the numbers thing as my son attends a very small high school (less than 70 kids in the entire school) & has fall, spring, & summer baseball through the school.

From driving I80 many years ago, that's about 45 minutes away.

It is more about statewide numbers than school numbers. How many schools in the state, how many students, and then how many students are willing to play baseball. And then can the school support it. Like mentioned above, when the nearest high school is 25/30 minutes away, it makes it that much harder. I'm sure there would be some teams traveling over an hour just to play a conference game. 

If we're being honest, not sanctioning it is probably the right choice.
