Four names
The league publishes its leadership plainly: Chad Johnson as Director, with Tom Barto, Tommy Sipes and Nick Merrill as the board.
Three of those four are founders of the league, and two of them still manage clubs in it -- Barto with the Blue Jays.
Every club's manager and assistant managers are named alongside the team's record, so the whole administrative structure of the league is public down to the assistant manager of an inactive team.
That is a complete organisation chart, published without ceremony.
A High Cheese league page attaches a working contact to each of those roles and keeps the rosters they administer at the same address, so a manager's record and his contact are the same page.
Shasta Baseball League in detail
- Founded in 2018 by five men, run as a not-for-profit, and it breaks for the summer on purpose.
- Four games a Sunday at one field, with the umpires named on every line.
- Records are kept twice — what happened, and what the standings say.
- Every result sits in the schedule table, in the column beside the umpires.
- Every club, every season, every name change and every championship, active and inactive.
- Team records are kept exhaustively; individual statistics are not published.
- A PO box, a telephone number, and two addresses at the league's own domain.
- About thirteen dollars a game, paid to your manager, with the arithmetic explained.
- Four grounds across three cities, with Wynne Price carrying most of the season.
- Seven innings, 135 minutes, nine-inning playoffs, and a published rulebook.
- An attention banner at the top of the page, used for real changes.
- No gallery is published.
- An ongoing partnership with a service club, and coordination with three little leagues.
- Two playoff games at nine innings with no time limit, then a championship.
- Founded mid-2018 by five named men, with sixteen seasons on record.
- Cost, season, game length, fields and why there is no summer baseball.
- A player consent form, required to play, and a rules and regulations document.
- Two seasons and one deliberate gap: no baseball between mid-June and mid-August.
- Hats and jerseys are a team expense, added by the manager on top of league fees.
- Named on every game in the schedule — the only league here that does it.
