Two hundred and twenty-nine
The league's own archive counts 229 teams ever, which is more clubs than most leagues in this directory have players.
The current roll runs Miami JC, the Broward Senators, the Miami Yankees, the South Florida Astros, the Margate Marlins, the Miami Amigos, the Delray Devil Rays, the West Palm Beach Cardinals, the Miami Brewers, the Miami Buccaneers, the South Florida Rays and the Miami Red Sox.
The historical roll adds the Dade Nationals, Dacar Senators, Palm Beach Angels, Flomo Crusaders, Davie Tigers, Weston Sharks, Kendall Metz, South Florida Sting Rays, Boca Red Sox, Hollywood Astros, Fort Lauderdale Pilots, Valma Senators, Boynton Black Sox, South Florida Cubs, Broward Marlins and more -- a map of the whole southeast coast in team names.
A High Cheese team page belongs to the club rather than the season, so each of those 229 keeps one address across every roster, result and championship -- which is the only way a number that large stops being a statistic and becomes a set of histories.
