Six clubs, and one named after a surgery
The current league is contested by Harry Young, the Gorilla's, the Blacksox, the OutlawRats, the Toledo Thunder and Toledo Orthopaedic Surgeons — each with its manager published by name, one club with two managers listed jointly, and one manager given by first name only.
A 43-and-over league whose strongest side is sponsored by an orthopaedic practice is the most appropriate arrangement anywhere in this directory. The Teams page itself has not moved on: it still displays the 2011 season, listing the Toledo Paramount, Toledo Knights, Toledo Barons, Monroe Muskrats, Toledo Thunder and Michigan Timberwolves with their 2008 to 2012 links. Rosters on High Cheese update as men sign and follow a player between clubs and seasons, so a Teams page cannot fall fifteen years behind the league it belongs to.
