Do States like North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, etc., have baseball teams that they root for? Just curious.

Are you specifically referring to MLB only? I am sure they have local college and university teams. Many places are part of the MLB farm system/minor leagues as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_league_baseball_leagues_and_teams
People around here like the Atlanta Braves, although I personally see no reason why a bunch of Ted Turner's overpaid employees need my support. 
Depends in the case of the Dakotas. If you're near the MN border (Fargo, Grand Forks, Sioux Falls) sure there are lots of Twins fans. Seen some at games (the Circle Me Bert signs usually gives away their location)
But western Dakotas maybe is different. What about states like Montana where its really far away?

For years manny in the the south and west were st louis cardinals fans. im talking about the 1930's to the 60's. the reason being one of the most powerfull raido stations in america was the flagship station for the st louis cardinals. KMOX could be herd throughout much of the USA. the only team manny states could hear on a regular basis were the cardinals. so you root for who you can hear. now with cable that changed. im sure manny have herd bob costas say he wanted to become a play by play man when he would go out to his dads (in new york) car at night and listen to the late great jack buck and harry caray broadcast the cardinal games.

thats so true. WCCO in Mpls is another "Clear Channel" station so most of the upper midwest it could be heard

WJR was the blow torch for the area around hear, LIstening to Ernie Harwell was always right up there with Buck and Carey...but I do remember catching KMOX on the transister from time to time, also have picked up WBZ I think, Is that the station out of Boston, once in a great while I would catch that and also from time to time I woud catch the main station out of Chicago as well, I cannot remember the call letters though, probably WGNIceberg said:

I know at our lake house we use to get at night (this is on a typical night about 2 1/2 hours north of Mpls)
WCCO-Twins games
WLW-Reds
WGN-Cubs
KOA-Rockies
KMOX-Cards (that one is tough because we have a 25K station at 1130)
WTMJ is tough for Brewers games but its possible (on the right night)

It was kind of nice when Florida had no MLB team, and tons of people would go down to Florida to spring training to see the stars get ready for the season.
I see your former Louisville Bats several times a year, when they come to town to play our Triple A International League Back to Back Champion Toledo Mud Hens !!!!Neutron said:

You should make a trip this way, Toledo's 5/3rd field is rated the top Minor league park in the country !!!Neutron said:
