Английская Википедия:All-American Baseball Challenge
Шаблон:Short description The All-American Baseball Challenge was a six-team recreational baseball league formed in July 2020 in the New York City metropolitan area.[1] Local ownership quickly organized this pop-up league in response to the cancellation of the 2020 Frontier League season, which was to feature three of the teams involved, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Games were played at Yogi Berra Stadium in Little Falls, New Jersey, Skylands Stadium in Augusta, New Jersey, and Palisades Credit Union Park in Pomona, New York. Each stadium featured two teams, which included the New Jersey Jackals and Sussex County Miners each playing in their home parks. The owners of the New York Boulders also fielded a team in their stadium, but the team kept the franchise’s former name of Rockland Boulders for the season.
Major leaguers Vin Mazzaro and Taylor Motter played in the league.

The league featured players from independent, affiliated minor league, and college baseball.[4]
Rules
Initially, a 32 game, 8-week regular season was reported,[5] but as games not played due to inclement weather were canceled, teams wound up playing fewer games. All games were scheduled for 7 innings and held on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Contests tied after 7 innings used a home run derby to decide the winning team. A player on each team took five batting practice swings and the player with more home runs won the game for his team.
GameChanger was the official scoring/statistical tracking platform for the league.[6]
