That's 14 Baseball teams, with every state but Arkansas having one.
Arkansas needs a team? Well, there's nine men to a side in baseball, and Little Rock's the capital...
How about the Little Rock Nine?

CASCAR exists in Canada.I see you know your history well, there is an old legend out here that implies that one of Phoenix's planned names was Stonewall, because it's founder Jack Swilling was a Confederate Ranger during the war.
CASCAR (Confederate Association of Stock Car Auto Racing):
Richmond International Speedway
Atlanta Raceway
Jacksonville Superspeedway*
Everglades Circuit Speedway
Dallas-Fort Worth Raceway
Darlington "The Rock" Speedway
Talledega Superspeedway
New Orleans Speedway
Nashville "Music City" Raceway Park
Charlotte Motor Raceway
Lexington Bluegrass Speedway (Kentucky)
Sequoyah Trans-Tribal Raceway (Confederate Oklahoma, the track is outside of Muskogee, Sequoyah/Oklahoma and is owned in fair shares by different elements of the 5 Civilized Tribes)
*TTL's Daytona International Raceway
This gives Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana and Sequoyah major racetracks, Arkansas and Mississippi only have minor 1/8-1/2 mile ovals for local or low ring series races but those two states themselves have produced several CASCAR champions.
Or the area/territory/eventual state (possibly) could be called "Oklahoma" and it's capital (whether a new city or an old one renamed) could have been called "Sequoyah".
A little something I came up with for a Confederate Baseball(or Townsball) league. The NTL, National Townsball League.
NTL:
- Charleston Rebels
- Richmond Confederates
[*]Georgia Nobles(Milledgeville)*- Louisville Sluggers
- Sequoyah Braves
- Houston Cowboys
- Dallas Texans
- Florida Rustlers(Jacksonville)**
- Tampa Bay Rays
[*]Nashville Sounds- Montgomery Aces
[*]New Orleans VooDoo's- Jackson Generals
- Stonewall Daimondbacks***
*: Located in Milledgeville who continued to grow instead of decline without its sacking in the Civil War, and without Atlanta becoming the capital.
**:Located in Jacksonville
***: An ATL city in the state of Arizona(which encompasses OTL southern New Mexico and Arizona)

Great list PoorBoy. If you want to make it Collaborative with my NTL list, maybe change Atlanta and Miami as they aren't developed as such in a Confederacy-win scenario.
Alternatively, Atlanta could still develop from the railroads though.
But Miami wouldn't develop much until the later half of the 20th Century maybe.
And maybe have the Sequoyah Red Skins replace the Miami Redskins, with a team in Jacksonville replacing a team in Miami?
Alternatively we could Port St. Lucie being the area that develops in a Confederacy wins TL instead of Miami. St. Lucie team?
That is also a possibility. And could very well happen. However, do you think Texas would want the panhandle? And so, would it get it?
I don't think Texas ever claimed the Panhandle after ceding it in 1850 (they claimed Greer county though). It would probably remain US territory and as a federally governed area unassigned to any territory or state I imagine it would find use later by the US government if it wasn't partitioned or handed over to neighbouring states/territories before.
As in the Panhandle remains US Territory? Perhaps.
Well where else would it go? It wasn't claimed by Texas, it wasn't a part of the Indian territory and it didn't secede from the US.
Just so we are clear, you are talking about what is now the Oklahoma Panhandle right?
Correct, in that case might we see it divided at the line between Kansas and Colorado?
