How the Generator Works

• Full 30-team dataset: Every active MLB franchise is included, with metadata: abbreviation, league, division, founding year, and home stadium.
• Filter before randomizing: League and division filters are applied first, then a random selection is drawn from the matching teams — so you always get valid results.
• No duplicates per batch:Each team appears at most once per generation — you won't see the same franchise twice in a single result set.
• Adaptive count cap: The count selector automatically limits to the number of teams available under your current filters (e.g. max 5 when a single division is selected).
• Runs in your browser: No server calls — all randomization happens locally. Nothing is stored or transmitted.
