Thirty-three champions, all of them listed
The league has been part of Fairbanks baseball since the 1970s and has crowned a champion every year since 1993: Titans in 1993, Marlins in 1994, Reds through the mid-nineties, the Nicks, the Red Sox, then a Dodgers title in 2000 and a Padres one in 2001. The Expos took six straight from 2002 to 2007 and hold the most titles of any club. The Cubs followed, then Orioles, White Sox, Mets, four Brewers years, HooDoo Brewers, Lavelle's Taphouse, and into the 2020s: Pirates and Spruce sharing 2020, Icemen in 2021 and 2024, Pirates in 2022, Blizzard in 2023 and 2025.
The league's own line about it is better than anything a directory could write: no parades for the champions here, just bragging rights, a group photo, and the satisfaction of knowing your squad did what it took to win. A record that complete deserves to survive the next website, which is what a High Cheese season does — standings, box scores and rosters kept together permanently on a page the league owns.
