Dairyland Small

About the Dairyland League Small Division

The division for the smaller towns, and the one least likely to survive being invisible.

The small half

This is the Small division of the Wisconsin Dairyland League, and like its larger counterpart it has no address in our records -- no website, no social page, no listing.

The small division is the one that matters most here. A village team is always one or two departures from folding, and the thing that saves it is a man from the next town over who hears there is a spot. In a league organised by town size, that man has further to travel and less reason to know.

Word of mouth works in a valley and fails across a county.

A High Cheese league page is a permanent address with the schedule, the grounds and every roster rendered as pages, findable by somebody twenty miles away who has never heard of the village but is looking for a game. Which is the whole survival mechanism for baseball at this scale.
