What Class A means
Every club here is Class A in Section 1. The association's classification criteria decide what that requires, and it is the top of a system running down through B and C.
Uniform classification across a whole league is unusual and it means the schedule inside the league is genuinely level. What separates a 26-4 club from an 8-18 club at the same grade is roster and pitching, not bracket.
The league publishes no local rules of its own.
High Cheese keeps a league's own agreements beside its schedule, which is where the things these six towns have settled between themselves currently do not appear.
Classic Cannon Valley American League in detail
- Six Class A clubs south of the Twin Cities, including a Miesville side that has lost four games all year.
- No league schedule, and clubs playing thirty games mostly outside it.
- Miesville 4-0 in the league and 26-4 overall, with Rochester yet to play a league game.
- No results page, and a Miesville side that has lost four times in thirty games.
- Six towns along the Cannon River and the bluffs, and no players named.
- Run differential is the only figure kept, and Miesville's is oddly small.
- No contact is published for the league or any of its six clubs.
- No form, no fee, and six clubs that pick their own players.
- No ballpark list here, in a league that contains some of the best-known parks in amateur baseball.
- Nothing specific to this league appears in the association's feed.
- No album or gallery.
- Nobody is thanked in public.
- A Class A season points at the state tournament, and Miesville have been there before.
- No founding year here, and the state archives kept a floor above.
- No league officers named; the association publishes its own board.
- How good it is, answered exactly. Everything practical, not at all.
- Association documents and classification criteria, none of them this league's.
