Louisville, Ky is a little over half way. Don't pay any attention to those that said Memphis because that is completely the wrong direction.

1. I don't spend a lot of time complaining about the high payrolls in baseball. My favorite team, the Giants, is about middle of the pack (about $85 mil). For the most part, I don't really fault the big spenders for their high salaried lineups. If they have the money coming in, they should have the right to spend it. It's better than them pocketing the profits and putting an inferior product on the field. If a team spends its money wisely, they can put a very good product out their if they draft wisely and develop their players. However, I do have a problem with the Yankees free spending ways, whose only strategy in chasing a championhsip is to throw money at it. Their payroll of $200 mil eclipses all of the other top teams. Tied for #2 are the Cubs and Mets at a paltry $135 mil. This chasm between 1 and 2 is mind boggling and tips the scales too heavily. Baseball needs to firm up their cap to stem this type of imbalance. I'm not a Yankees hater at all...more of a Dodgers hater if anything, but it is getting out of hand. If I were a Mets, Red Sox, or Cubs fan I wouldn't feel guilty. Their spending is within the realms of acceptability and logic. If I were a Yankees fan, I would probably complain a little bit. I would realize the huge advantage, and it would probably take away from some of my satisfaction in winning. It's like Mike Tyson beating up on a 12 yr old. How satisfying can that be?

By what measure?
The easiest way to find out is to get a map of the US and a ruler. Lie the ruler across both Chicago and Atlanta. Look at the length. Divide by 2. Then look at what's at that particular measurement.
This is not necessarily the halfway point on a road journey, however. It's a "as the crow flies" sort of measurement.
Someone stole my ruler, so I might off on this, but Louisville appears to be a good guess.
