Older than you think
The question this league answers that almost nobody else does is the last one anybody asks: is there still somewhere to play at seventy? Yes -- RIMA runs a 72-and-over division with two clubs in it, and a 65s division with five.
The rest of what can be established: four brackets at 50, 58, 65 and 72; seventeen clubs; games between ten in the morning and half past seven at night; grounds across Rhode Island and into Massachusetts.
What cannot: cost, season length, bat rules, roster size, and who to ask.
A High Cheese league page answers the fee, the season and the join route on the same page as the fixture list, which is the half this league has never put on the open web.
