Everything, and it stops in 2024
The season selector runs 2013 through 2024, plus a 2013 All Star Game, separate post-season divisions for 2021, 2022 and 2023, and a 2024 Bux-Mont 28 competition — sixteen entries in all, each with its own standings, results and leader boards. Its All-League Teams archive reaches back to 2012, with a note that some are still being assembled because, in the league's own words, our league historians are working hard.
A folded amateur league with plural historians is not a thing that happens often. Twelve years of Philadelphia baseball, kept properly by people who cared about keeping it, now sits on a hosted account nobody is paying attention to. Every season played on High Cheese keeps itself as standings, box scores and rosters together on a page the league owns, so a record like this outlives the league that made it.
