Doug Duell threw a perfect game
The league reported it on May 21, 2026. Before that: the 2026 Board of Directors in January, a piece called A Whole New Ballgame in July 2025, and in April 2025 a story on the league's lone female athlete proving she belongs.
A perfect game in adult baseball happens perhaps once in a league's decade, and this one wrote it up under the man's name.
Publishing a piece about its only woman player, and framing it as her proving she belongs rather than as a novelty, is a decision somebody made carefully.
A league on High Cheese gets a wire where finals post themselves as books are finalized, so the reporting that needs a person keeps getting one.
