The town is the roster
Rockies, Hawks, Brewers, Lakers, Gussies, Nicks and Clippers, attached to Cold Spring, Eden Valley, Luxemburg, Pearl Lake, St. Augusta, St. Nicholas and Watkins.
In town ball the club is not a franchise, it is the place. A man plays for St. Nicholas because he is from St. Nicholas, or married into it, or lives close enough that nobody argues.
No roster is published for any of the seven.
Rosters on High Cheese update as people sign and follow a player between clubs and seasons, which in a league of neighbouring towns is a record of who went where and when it caused trouble.
