Pittsfield, Greylock, Housatonic, Tunnel City
The league publishes no field list and no addresses. What the club names carry is the geography: Pittsfield, Greylock, Housatonic, Tunnel City and a league office in Dalton.
Berkshire County is a valley with the towns strung along it, which is why a twelve-club league works here at all, and it still does not tell a visiting side which diamond in Pittsfield.
High Cheese ties an address and a map to the game on the schedule, and carries a national ballpark directory.
