2014 MLS Minutes…

Earlier today, I saw a tweet from @HelltownBeer listing the State/Country with the most #MLS minutes played this season:

76,473 California
33,979 England
29,493 Argentina
26,501 Brazil
26,251 Texas
23,958 Ohio

Naturally, I looked up our Northeast Ohio fellas in order to calculate their contribution to Ohio’s total.  Here’s what I have:

Darlington Nagbe 2,681    
Justin Morrow 2,676
Chris Korb 1,376
Evan Bush 1,170
Josh Williams 1,123
Ben Zemanski 734
Ben Speas 704
Kenney Walker 329
Michael Nanchoff 85
TOTAL – 16,411

So… being the curious sort, I looked up other Ohioans of note, and it was:

Kofi Sarkodie [Dayton/Houston]  2,872    
Wil Trapp [Columbus/Columbus]  2,486
Nick Hagglund [Cincinnati/Toronto FC]  2,088
Marc Burch [Cincinnati/Colorado]  1,899
Troy Perkins [Springfield/Montreal]  1,890
Chris Rolfe [Kettering/DC United]  1,679
Danny O’Rourke [Columbus/Portland]  975
Chad Barson [Columbus/Columbus]  766
Austin Berry [Cincinnati/Philadelphia]  497
Eric Brunner [Columbus/Houston]  297
Erik Palmer-Brown [Napoleon/Sporting KC]  235

Great news – it turns out that the grand total from my math puts our Ohioans at a grand total of 32,095!!  Not too shabby!!  Take that, Texas, Brazil and Argentina!!
