The final table
2024 finished: Dirt Dawgs 21-2 at .913 with 178 runs for and 47 against, Conshy Marlins 16-4, Philadelphia Red Sox 12-10, Padres 12-11, Philadelphia Lions 6-18, Quaker City Comets 1-20 with 225 runs conceded. Every column is filled — wins, losses, ties, percentage, games behind, runs for, runs against and run differential.
A club conceding 225 runs in twenty-one games kept turning up, and the league kept recording it properly rather than quietly dropping them from the table. That is the last standings page this competition will ever publish. Standings on High Cheese come out of the games themselves and sit in plain text on a page the league owns, so a final season stays readable after the final season.
