Nine towns, no addresses
Albert Lea, Blue Earth, Cleveland, Janesville, Lake Crystal, Minnesota Lake, Morristown, Waseca, Waterville. That tells you the town and nothing else. A town ballpark is usually one turn off the main road with a grain elevator over the third base line, and which turn is a thing you have to be told.
High Cheese ties a field to the game on the schedule with an address and a map, so a visiting club finds the right diamond first time, and carries a national ballpark directory that is how leagues this size get found at all.
13/60 League in detail
- Nine teams out of south-central Minnesota, sorted by letter instead of age.
- The league posts no schedule anyone can link to.
- Eight teams in the table, and two pages on the same site that do not agree.
- No results page. The standings are the only surviving evidence.
- No roster page. Who plays is a town matter.
- Wins, losses, run differential. That is the whole statistical record.
- No officer, email or phone number is published for this league.
- No form, no posted fee, no deadline.
- No local rulebook. The league plays the association handbook.
- The association feed runs hot all August and never once says Waseca.
- No album, no gallery, nothing visual at all.
- No sponsor page, though the money comes from somewhere.
- Where a 13/60 season points: the state tournament, bracketed by letter.
- No founding year, no pennant list, no 13/60 name on the honor rolls.
- No officers, no committee, nobody listed as running it.
- No FAQ, and the obvious questions are exactly the unanswered ones.
- The paperwork a club here deals with, all of it filed upstairs.
- No calendar, no posted season start, no posted end.
- Nothing for sale. There is no merchandise page.
- No crew listed. The forms that govern them are association forms.
