Three divisions and no price
What is answerable: three age divisions at 28, 40 and 50; nineteen clubs; games on Saturday mornings, Sunday afternoons and weeknights at seven; twenty-nine grounds across Rhode Island and into Massachusetts, including Brown, URI, Rhode Island College and Cardines Field.
What is not: what a season costs, how many games it runs, when it starts and finishes, whether bats are wood, and how a man without a team gets onto one.
A High Cheese league page answers the fee, the season and the join route on the same page as the schedule, which is the half this league has never published.
