Nine hundred careers, unrecorded
The league carries over nine hundred adult players across seven age divisions, some of whom could play the same complex from nineteen to seventy. No statistic of any kind is published.
A ladder that deep is the one place a career record would mean the most — a man's numbers at 25, at 45 and at 62, all from the same seven ballparks. Statistics on High Cheese come out of the box scores as they are entered and follow a player between clubs, divisions and seasons, so forty-five years at one complex is one page.
