A league address, not a field
The only location the league publishes is its own: Passyunk Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19147. No diamond is named for any of twelve seasons, in a city where the fields are the hardest thing to get.
South Philadelphia is where this league lived and none of its grounds are on the record, so twelve years of results have no places attached to them. High Cheese ties the ballpark, the address and the map to the fixture itself, so a season leaves behind where it was played as well as who won.
