Which MLB team is the most "Like"-able? Depends on where you are.

Facebook broke down the data to figure out which team was most popular in each county across the United States (and the census divisions in Canada). The map Facebook created is based on number of "Likes" for each team.

Here's what we learned: the Yankees have fans everywhere, from New York to North Carolina to Nevada. In all, the Yankees are the most liked team in at least one county in 24 states. The Cubs, bless their hearts, haven't won a World Series from 1908, but that hasn't deterred the fans in Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. Don't worry Cubs fans, we're still rolling with you this year. There's not a lot of love for the Mets, Blue Jays or Athletics. None of those three teams hold plurality in any U.S. county. Luckily for the Blue Jays, they have still have Canada.

Take a look at the map to see which team is most Like-able in your county:
