I've heard of the London teams, but not the Paris one no.

Then you don't seem qualified to be making the statements that you are making.

I should've picked different cities. Well, Tokyo's probably fine, I don't think Japan's baseball league has the foreign popularity that Europe's football leagues do.

My point was supposed to be less about major world cities having famous teams and more about the impact of those teams on said cities. Okay, Tokyo doesn't have world-recognized sports teams the way London does. Does that seem to hurt it?
