Here are the eight teams of the Pastime League.

Bridgeley Paladins
There was a bridge at the site of what became the city of Bridgeley before there was a settlement there. The beautiful stone bridge that spans the Bagley River is a popular site for tourists.

Clarendon Red Lilies
There's something about the soil near Clarendon that has made it the center of a thriving nursery industry. Clarendon farms produce dozens of varieties of lilies.

Coventry Colonials
Coventry was founded in 1636, making it the oldest town in the region. The historic area of Coventry features about a dozen buildings that were built as long ago as the mid-1700s.

Linden Heavyweights
This team takes its name from a bear who was occasionally sighted in the forests around the city of Linden over a century ago. Named "Heavyweight," the bruin was said to be the largest bear old-timers had ever seen, and nobody ever harmed him.

Riverglade Willows
Riverglade fans chose the name "Willows" to honor the beautiful willow trees that line the banks of the Bagley River as it winds past their town.

St. Crispin Terriers
In 1902, a writer praised the scrappy, undersized players of the St. Crispin club as a "pack of terriers." The name stuck, and the local teams have been known as the Terriers ever since.

South Shore Whistlers
The original "South Shore Whistler" was a vaudeville star of the early 1900s named Hugh Lampshire, who wore a resplendent auburn mustache, whistled popular tunes, and imitated a wide array of bird calls.

Stonewich Dreamers
The quiet town of Stonewich was the birthplace of Henry Shelton, who wrote the beloved song, "Dream With Me." Shelton was also a talented amateur pitcher.

My next step will be creating the 200-odd players I'll need to stock the rosters of these clubs. That might take a while, and I'll return once I'm finished.
