Somebody is actually writing this
The front page carries a news flash for the July 28 meeting, notes from the July 7 meeting, the uniform rule taking effect before game three, the roster deadline, weekend highlights, and the Yaquis home run in game one of the championship series.
That is a league communicating with its own members in public, week by week, which almost nobody else in this directory does at all. It is one person's work and it reads like it.
A league on High Cheese gets a wire where finals post themselves as books are finalized and signings announce themselves, so the person currently typing all of this gets to write only the parts that need writing.
