The banner never came down
The league's page still carries its recruitment line: home of the Northwest Ohio Men's Baseball Association, looking for new players and teams for the 2023 season. Beneath it, the update explains why that never happened — the league ran out of teams — and asks anybody who finds the page to keep making contact anyway.
A recruitment banner for a season that never took place, left up deliberately underneath an admission that the league folded, is the saddest and most hopeful thing on this site at once. A High Cheese free agent pool is regional rather than per-league, so the men in Tiffin and Fremont looking for baseball are visible to every manager within driving distance whether or not their own league is running.
