Partners, not billboards
The businesses attached to this league appear as partners on a player resources page rather than as sponsors on a banner: two batting cage operations, a glove repairer and a bat maker, each listed with what they do and what they charge.
That is an unusual and rather good arrangement -- the business gets sent real customers, the players get a discount, and nobody has to pretend a logo is a relationship.
Support like that is worth showing where players actually look, which is the fixture list. A High Cheese league page can put a partner beside the game a player is on his way to rather than on a page he opens once.
