Well, Arlington tops Houston, home of this year’s AL West (and last year’s world) champion Astros, in WalletHub.com’s recently released ranking of the best baseball cities in 2018.
In fact, Arlington is the best “baseball town” in Texas and 10th best in America, while Houston ranks 22nd, WalletHub says.
For perspective, Buies Creek, North Carolina is ranked 27th, propelled into that spot by its Carolina League team, the Buies Creek Astros, a Houston farm club and the 2018 Mills Cup champion.
