Winners named, tables never published
The league keeps a division champions roll: Orioles under Wade Teltoe in 2024, Hurricanes under Phil Belcher in 2023, Stealth under Trevor Nielson in 2022, Hurricanes under Kyle Anderson in 2021 and 2018, War Eagles under Hobs Donovan in 2020 and under Lou Savka in 2017, Arrows under John DeCosta in 2019, Mustangs under Brad Fetters in 2016.
Crediting the manager beside the club is a decision about who actually wins an adult baseball season. What the league does not publish is a single standings table, in any of six divisions, in any year. Standings on High Cheese come out of the games themselves and sit in plain text on the league's own page, so the race that produced a champion is readable while it is happening.
