The 9
The league publishes no founding year, champions or former clubs. The association keeps State Archives and an Honors section.
Lake Crystal 9 is the oldest kind of baseball name there is. Nineteenth-century clubs were routinely called the something Nine, and one town in Minnesota has kept it while dropping everything around it.
Every season played on High Cheese is kept as standings, box scores and rosters together.
