Two shops, one of them for bats
The SSABL runs a Shop section split in two: an SSABL League Store, and a dedicated Wood Bats page.
Selling bats directly is unusual and practical -- in an adult league the bat is the one piece of equipment that breaks regularly and costs real money, and a league buying them in bulk can pass that on.
Very few leagues in this directory sell anything at all. This one sells the thing its players actually need replaced.
A High Cheese league page keeps the store beside the fixture list and the standings players open every week, which is where a broken bat gets replaced on a Monday.
