Aztec Baseball League Rosters

Donkey Kong will need to produce King Kong

Rosters are due before game three: no more than eighteen players plus one manager, first and last names, coaches excluded unless they are eligible to play. The league is explicit about why. The roster exists to verify a name against a pictured ID, and it makes the point with a joke of its own about a player listed as Donkey Kong having to produce identification reading King Kong.

Better still, the league runs its own player index. Managers are asked to include player ID numbers, and can look them up through the Player Pics section by typing a few letters of each name, because most players in the Inland Empire have been through this league at some point.

That is a player database maintained by hand for years. On High Cheese a player carries his own profile between clubs and seasons, so the ID lookup is the account rather than a search somebody built.
