Going to do the #30DayMapChallenge with only baseball data... Should be fun.
Here's day 1 (Points).

#Phillies Citizens Bank Park LIDAR point data. 3.5 million data points.

Day 2 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Lines)... An animation breaking down where players that played in 2020 were born color coded by team and going to their home stadium.

Day 3 of #30DayMapChallenge (Polygons)... Here's a Voronoi diagram using #MLB stadium distances to create team boundaries. Pretty cool results.

Day 4 of #30DayMapChallenge (Hexagons)... Here's a hexbin breakdown of where all 140,000 MLB/MiLB players were born all time.

Day 5 of #30DayMapChallenge (Color Blue)... Breaking down where hits happen at each #MLB stadium since 2019. The higher the bump the more hits.

Day 6 of #30DayMapChallenge (Color Red)... Mapping out 4 #MLB stadiums (Wrigley, Petco, Fenway, Citizens Bank) in 3d using LIDAR data (50+ million data points).

Day 7 of #30DayMapChallenge (Color Green)... Animating every #MLB home run hit in 2020 overlaid at Fenway Park. Light green trajectory is RHB and dark green is LHB.

Day 8 of #30DayMapChallenge (Color Yellow)... Drawing a concave hull around #MLB stadiums. Looks oddly like Pikachu

Day 9 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Monochrome). I decided to make a physical map in black and white. A density of all Ichiro's career hits 3D printed.

Day 10 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Grid). The #Padres had the highest Outs Above Average of any team at +16. Here's a grid breakdown of their OAA

Day 11 of the #30DayMapChallenge (3D). Breaking down the density of where Mookie Betts career #MLB hits have been on the field.

Day 12 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Map not made with GIS software). Here's a map of all 30 #MLB stadiums color coded by American (red) and National (blue) League. Turned out pretty awesome. #plottertwitter

Day 13 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Raster). Wrigley Field and Fenway Park using QGIS and public LIDAR data. Amazing the detail you can see.

Day 15 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Connections). Here's the unique look of the 2020 #MLB travel schedule.

Day 16 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Islands)... Mapping out every #MLB player born in Hawaii. Top 5 cities labeled.

Day 17 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Historical Map)... Animating aerial photos of the Astrodome since 1944 using @googleearth .

Day 18 of #30DayMapChallenge (Land use)... Adrián Beltré's 3166 career #MLB base hit spray chart. He covered quite a lot of land with all his hits.

Day 19 of the #30DayMapChallenge (NULL)... Here's a map showing only US states that have an MLB team.

Day 20 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Population)... Here's a map showing every current & historic US born MLB and MiLB players city of birth. Bigger circle = more players.

Day 21 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Water)... Here's a 3D model based on LiDAR data of PNC Park with the Allegheny River visible.

Day 22 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Movement). Animating the 2020 #MLB travel schedule.

Day 23 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Boundaries). Drawing every #MLB stadium over one another. I love #MLB stadiums 😍😍😍
