The break is the calendar
Spring runs mid-March to early June. Fall runs mid-August to early November. In between, nothing -- by design, for travel ball and for families.
That gives Shasta County adults two distinct ten-to-fifteen-game seasons a year and gives their summers back.
Skills assessments precede each season, with locations announced and occasionally moved indoors for weather.
A season entered once on a High Cheese league page dates itself into every player's own calendar, both seasons and both assessments, so the year's shape reaches players rather than sitting in an About paragraph.
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.
- A director and a three-man board, all named.
- 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.
- 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.
