Bats, made locally
The league carries four sponsor marks on its front page: Stinger Baseball, Rochester Maple Bats, Great Lakes Bat Co. and Black and White Baseball.
Two bat manufacturers and a local maple-bat maker backing an adult league is a specific and appropriate kind of sponsorship -- these are businesses whose customers are exactly the men in these three competitions, and one of them carries the city's name.
Sponsors get seen on the pages players actually open, which are the schedule and the standings. A High Cheese league page puts a backer beside both, rather than in a rotating strip on a homepage.
