The Land of 10,000 Ballplayers
The Federal League is built, in its own words, for 35+ players who still want that townball experience without sacrificing time with the family or sacrificing your knees. Clubs are grouped into North, East, West and South divisions, play eighteen to twenty regular season games a summer, and finish in a State Tournament split into classes — AAA, AA, A and B. It has crowned a champion every year since 1986 and it points out, correctly and with an Ope, that Minnesota has more adult baseball teams and players than anywhere else in the United States.
It is the most complete adult baseball organization in this directory: a hall of fame, a named award, a press archive, a podcast, published bylaws and minutes. Almost none of it reaches a plain reader, because the standings, the teams and the statistics are all delivered by script. High Cheese puts a league of this size at one address it owns with all of that in text — forty years of champions, four divisions and this Saturday's finals on pages a search engine can actually read.
