That could be a major culprit for the number of championships that people are seeing by the Yankees.

Before you do it, let me report in on a test I've got running. I changed the Mets, Yankees, Dodgers, and Angels to 10 million. (LA and Anaheim were at 16M). I was just looking haphazardly. Since it sounds like you're going to do it more carefully, I just stopped my siim right where it was, at 2070. After 65 seasons...
- Yankees won 14 titles, 22 pennants, made playoffs 45 times, but still have some 3rd and 4th place finishes thrown in there
- Yankees are on a really strong run right now: 6 titles in seven seasons, averaging nearly 120 wins during that run.
- Houston actually made the playoffs more times than the Yanks: 46, but only 3 titles and 7 pennants
- Florida, Milwaukee, and Tampa Bay never made the playoffs.
- a total of 11 teams won 3 or more World Series
- 16 different teams won it all
I didn't make any other changes other than lowering those three cities. Hope that helps with your more directed tests.
