Redirected out of existence
The address on record for the Southern Maine Men's Baseball League is a hosted site whose subdomain still carries the league's initials -- smmbl -- and whose every request now ends at stacksports.com, a corporate homepage about sports management software.
The initials are all that is left. Not a division, not a club, not a ground, not a season.
This is the seventh league in this directory to end the same way: a competition that rented its website from a platform, and lost everything it had published when the platform was absorbed. The seasons happened. The records were kept on somebody else's server. The server changed hands.
A league page on High Cheese belongs to the league. A season recorded there stays readable at the league's own address after any number of vendors are bought, sold or renamed -- which is the specific failure that has erased this one.
