Local, and varied
The league thanks Luhrsen Goldberg LLC, RJ Consulting, Play Space Services Inc., Arc, MABL and MSBL, iEnergyBill, Show Bats, Coach Weedo, Transformative Tutoring, Hit Lab Palmetto and Josh Roberts Law. It also runs a Become A Partner page rather than only a thank-you list.
Eleven backers for a non-profit adult league is a lot, and the mix — two law firms, a batting facility, a bat maker, a tutor — is what a board of six with local jobs actually assembles. High Cheese carries sponsor placement on league and team pages next to the standings people read weekly, which is what makes the twelfth partner worth asking.
