Franz Strassmann, Gotham City police officer
The league maintains a League Officers and Managers page, which very few here do at all.
It also volunteers, in its own list of facts about itself, that vice president Franz Strassmann has appeared in a number of films including The Box with Cameron Diaz and as a Gotham City police officer in The Dark Knight Rises, and notes with some disappointment that he has never been in a baseball movie.
A league that publishes that about its own vice president is a league with a personality, and ninety-seven years to have developed one.
High Cheese lets a league name its officers and hand out real permissions, so the page is a set of accounts that do things rather than a list somebody edits.
