Three separate honours
DCMSBL keeps three distinct recognitions under its About section: a Hall of Fame, a Lifetime Achievement Award and a League Commissioner Award.
Separating them matters. A Hall of Fame is for a career. A Lifetime Achievement Award is for service. A League Commissioner Award is the commissioner's own -- the thing a league gives when somebody has done something no category covers.
Very few leagues in this directory maintain even one of those; this one maintains three, alongside a league history page.
A High Cheese league page keeps each honour attached to the seasons and the clubs that earned it, so a Hall of Fame is a set of careers rather than a list of names.
