A dynasty, recorded with the record
The champions are published with their season marks and their beaten finalists. The KC Monarchs went 26-0 to win the 2021 World Series, 24-2 in 2022 over the Blazers at 17-9, and 29-3 in 2023 over the Blue Wahoos at 20-14. The 2024 55+ Thursday title went to the Trash Pandas at 7-14, with the Cardinals finalists at 8-11.
Publishing a 55+ champion at 7-14 beside an 18+ champion at 29-3 is an honest picture of what those two divisions actually are, and no other league here would print both. Every season played on High Cheese keeps itself as standings, box scores and rosters together with the champion attached to the year, so a run like the Monarchs' is a record instead of three lines on a welcome page.
