In the old home of the Mud Hens
MAMBL is a 43-and-over league affiliated to Roy Hobbs, and it operates out of one ground: Ned Skeldon Stadium in Lucas County, the former home of the Toledo Mud Hens. The league carries ninety-five members, and each club may hold three players aged 43 to 44 — an exception written to let the youngest men in without letting them dominate.
Playing an entire 43+ season in a stadium that used to host Triple-A baseball is the best venue arrangement in this directory, and the league states it plainly and then says nothing more about itself. Its whole public record is a standings table, a calendar and a list of telephone numbers. High Cheese gives a league one address it owns with the schedule, the table and every roster on it, so ninety-five men playing in a real ballpark leave a record of it.
