A 40+ club in Huntsville, Alabama
The River City Rippers are an adult baseball club playing the 40+ division of Huntsville Roy Hobbs Baseball, Alabama. No manager is recorded on the league's site.
River City is the Tennessee River, which runs through Huntsville, and there is also a Rippers in the Lee County league in Florida.
Every one of the seven clubs in this league shows a 0-0 record. The division is registered, the clubs are listed, and not a single result has been entered against any of them.
Roy Hobbs is the fictional player from Bernard Malamud's novel and the Robert Redford film, and the name has been used for adult baseball nationally since the late 1980s.
Seven clubs all reading 0-0 makes an entire league indistinguishable from one that never took the field, which is what a High Cheese page carrying its own results prevents.
