Guess the date when this league folds.
it's May. This league is still trying to come up with teams for the 2013 season? Summer college leagues are better organized than this. Our local summer college team had its schedules, sponsors and host parents lined up before the end of December, and the team has most of its roster set. And this is a team on a $20,000-something yearly budget.
They got to four teams (I'm assuming... the Twitter feed is operational, the Facebook page is down and the website doesn't exist yet) but this is further than I thought they'd get after having the other teams drop out. The cities they're in are relatively isolated (save Fullerton).
If I lived in Nogales, and my choices were to watch live baseball or watch the D-backs or Rockies on TV, I would probably opt to go down to the ballpark and watch live baseball.
Now, if they can get through Year One and replace Fullerton with Tucson in 2014, the footprint will look a lot better (and they won't be competing with the Dodgers, Angels and a handful of California League teams in the same market.)

"An agreement with the Bisbee School District which operates Warren Ballpark, will allow the AWBL to use the field on Monday through Thursday from June until early August. The team will be aptly named the snakelike Bisbee Copperheads. A semipro team uses the ballpark on Friday and Saturday nights. Bisbee High School converts the outfield for football use in August."
This is more pathetic than funny, but it's definitely both.
