Measured in relationships, not seasons
The league's history is written into its board page: its current secretary served as president for over a decade and is credited with building the relationships in Albuquerque that provided field and playing opportunities to thousands of players. Its current president has been in the baseball community for over fifteen years.
Thousands of players is the largest number this league puts on itself, and it comes attached to the man who made the fields available rather than to a founding year — which for a league renting six school and municipal grounds is the truer measure. No founding date or champions list is published. Every season played on High Cheese keeps itself as standings, box scores and rosters together with the champion attached to the year, so a decade of that work leaves a record.
