The same clubs, under a second sanction
The 40+ division lists the Huntsville Bandits, Huntsville Dirtbags, Madison Braves, North Alabama Indians, River City Rippers, Rocket City Mud Cats and Trash Pandas. Six of those seven names also appear in the 40+ table of Huntsville's other adult league, which points at a single pool of north Alabama ballplayers competing under two sanctions rather than two separate populations. The 60+ division is the Antiques and the Trash Pandas.
Naming a 60+ side the Antiques is the best decision anybody in this directory has made. No roster or player is published for any club. Rosters on High Cheese update as men sign and follow a player between clubs, divisions and seasons — which is exactly what a man playing in two sanctioned competitions in the same town needs.
