My experience with MSBL baseball:
Over 40 league guys are just happy to be able to still be playing, don't call them.
Over 30 league is pretty good ball with just a few morons who make it tough on umpires, and sometimes their teammates.
Over 18 league is great. Setting the tone early, the morons stay at bay, few think they are ready for the bigs, many have been there, gotten close or know better; rarely argue just for the sake of argument because they know that they will only play once or twice a week and they are going home quick if they step over the line. They notice consistency in the zone, hustling on every play and most appreciate the effort.
Best summer ball with "adults" is wood bat leagues with college players for the summer, called this for a couple of summers, really enjoyable except for the ride out to the boonies.
