Directions, not a list
The league maintains a Field Directions section rather than a fields list, which is a small and telling difference: what a visiting club in Boston needs is not the name of the park, it is how to get there and where to leave the car.
The parks themselves are the city's, and this league has been playing on them since 1929, before any of them were lit.
High Cheese ties a ballpark, an address and a map to the game itself, so the directions arrive with the fixture rather than as a page somebody has to remember to open.
