Good question. That obviously has to come eventually, soon, as the League starts to establish itself throughout Britain as the best baseball in the country. To start with, at least the first couple of years, everyone comes from the city because they all work at the factory, and there's no robust intercity or metropolitan transit system at the time. You basically live within walking or trolley distance of work. And these guys families' have been there at factories for a couple generations, three or four some of them, so their families are pretty well-seeded right in the city. It's a rough lineage, spawning the kind of guy that baseball attracts in droves.
As top-flight baseball becomes more a professional sport on its own, independent of the semi-pro influence, that's when you start to see some migration from around Britain to cities with top clubs.
