I'm not positive, but I thought Mike Bellotte created the Diamondbacks before the NPYLL began play.
MIke Bellotte had the SP Bay Raiders or something like that... he was kicked out of severna park & arden and the Diamondbacks were created after that.
Arden has several very good teams including their 2020, 2022, and 2024 teams. Their 2020 team won the NPYLL U11AA championship the last year they were in the NPYLL.
As for NPYLL vs HOCO - there is a Saturday league that was started last year - the MPLL - games played at St. Pauls. Had a handful of NPYLL and HOCO teams... would be the perfect spot for teams who play Sundays in the NPYLL/HOCO to go play against each other on Saturdays in the Spring.
