The oldest here, by decades
Amateur baseball since 1933. That single line on the league's masthead makes it the oldest continuously running competition in this entire directory -- older than the Pancho Coimbre league in Central Park by twenty-six years, older than every MSBL and NABA affiliate by half a century.
Ninety-three seasons of southern Connecticut baseball, through the Depression, the war years, the collapse of the industrial leagues that produced twilight baseball in the first place, and every decade since.
Its published record of that: a Gold Bat recipients page, an awards page and a board of directors.
Not a champions list, not a founding roster, not a single season before this one.
Seasons kept on a High Cheese league page accumulate at the league's own address, which is what the ninety-fourth season could start doing even if the first ninety-three cannot be recovered.
