	Pyramid: A League of Your Own: Designing Supers Teams
		Many supers players like knowing their hero is able to do something in every situation, making solo heroes the RPG standard (after all, superheroes are partially about adolescent wish fulfillment).
		Leagues in comics tend towards the latter, with one or two heroes engaging in the slugfest while the others set up the coup de grace.
		Second, since such characters in comics originated in their own books, game approximations of league heroes should be carrying more baggage.

		Accordingly, the first league match was shown two months later when BBC cameras were present at Central Park for the clash between Wigan and Wakefield Trinity on 12 January 1952.
		However, rugby league was merely one part of what Geoffrey Moorhouse calls a “ragbag of outside entertainments” being tried out by the new channel, which paid the participating clubs £400 for their troubles.

		The league was founded in 1943, when it briefly appeared that men's baseball would be a casualty of the war, and once the men came marching home it's a wonder the league survived until 1954.
		"A League of Their Own" follows many of the time-honored formulas of sports movies, and has a fair assortment of stock characters (the plain girl who gains confidence, the brash girl with the heart of gold, the jealous sisters), but it has another level that's a lot more interesting.
		What's fresh are the personalities of the players, the gradual unfolding of their coach and the way this early chapter of women's liberation fit into the hidebound traditions of professional baseball.

		Rather, their networks, though always present, have become increasingly sophisticated and are now ramped up to provide everything from the most rudimentary business advice to new financing avenues.
		Whatever their genesis, those resources effectively nurture fledgling enterprises like Lent's, not simply because they are woman-owned but because they represent a previously unserviced niche.
		Like most of their counterparts in other regions, those groups either didn't exist or were just in their infancy five years ago.

		The standard stance of minor-league officials: Their product is different than the majors, from ticket prices (which will average $5.50 in the Golden League) and beer prices ($3.50) to surveys showing only 25 percent of people who attend minor-league games even know which team won.
		The league hopes to play a quality of ball comparable to high Class-A, stocking its rosters with players from junior colleges, local high schools and the selected big-, ex-major leaguer.

		The problem is that many mayors have an overdeveloped "Edifice Complex," which leads many of them to believe that the solution to their underperforming downtown is a brand spanking new stadium, and a new sports team to fill it.
		The city is currently netting around $2 million a year from the parking (after their bond payments) and could net 10 times that amount off the entire arena with competent management.

		The players, all of whom were born after I graduated from college (I checked the yearbook), oblige the kids, writing their names on T-shirts and caps and (rather ingloriously) on one mom's seat cushion.
		This is the minor leagues, where tickets cost less than 10 bucks, where no seat is so far from the field you can't hear the whomp of the ball in the catcher's glove, and where there's a good chance you'll go home with a gift certificate for free gas or a family-size order of nachos.

		Someone's got to be at the bottom of a 16-team league and with a combination of recruiting woes and coaching turnovers, these seven will likely take the prize.

		To the founder and president of the League of the South (LOS), the 6-year-old organization that has emerged at the forefront of the neo-Confederate movement, the incidents in Biloxi — along with similar attacks on white women in New York City's Central Park by fl and Hispanic men — represented a call to arms.
		The League of the South, first known as the Southern League, was founded in 1994 by Hill and a group of 40 other people.
		At first, the LOS appeared to be concerned primarily with questions of Southern culture, threatening to push for secession, at least rhetorically, as a final resort if what were seen as the rights and dignity of the South were not respected.
