Recorded twice, published never
The league keeps MLB-style statistics and has streamed more than 2,100 games, so every result is both filmed and scored. Not one final reaches its public page.
That is a decade of Houston baseball recorded in two systems and readable in neither. On High Cheese a final entered once becomes the box score, the standings line, the player's career record and the season together, on a page the league owns.
