I recently shared on Twitter an updated visualization that summarizes the outcome of all the expansion drafts in MLS history. Particularly now that the league has 20+ years of history, and has more than doubled in size since its inception, it seems worth preserving the history of events like the expansion draft.
Rather than let the plot only circulate on Twitter, I’ve tried to create an interactive version of the plot below.
Hopefully this is of some use – I hope to share more of this type of work (interactive plots and visualizations) here on the blog, or elsewhere around this site, over the coming year.
