The pictures worth having, in prose
The league's history describes scenes any organization would want photographed: eight games at Victory Field in 1997, three clubs playing a round robin at Cinergy Field in Cincinnati, three young men throwing out first pitches at the 2003 all-star games, and fifteen players running a baseball clinic in full uniform at Camp Riley in 2005.
None of it is shown. A fifty-club league in its thirty-seventh year has no gallery at all. Team and league pages on High Cheese carry photos and push them into a feed the whole league reads, so an all-star game at Victory Field survives as more than a sentence.
