Maintained, not readable
The league keeps a Standings section alongside Schedules and Scores and Statistics. None of those tables appear in the plain page a visitor without JavaScript receives.
For the oldest amateur league in the country, that means the current season is the only part of its story a search engine cannot read, while the 1941 governor-versus-mayor game is right there in the text.
Standings on High Cheese come out of the games themselves and sit in plain text on the league's own page, which is what makes them findable as well as visible.
