Keep. Appears to be the oldest amateur baseball league in the U.S. (
[1]) and has extensive coverage across its near-century of existence, e.g.
[2][3][4][5], etc. - Newspapers.com brings up
217,000 matches for the name of the league and the first several pages of results all look like feature stories on the RCBL.

Weak Keep: This is a close call, as it appears that most of the newspapers.com results is just trivial and routine game coverage, but the second source from BeanieFan11 (apologies for somehow missing that one) combined with [
[6]] shows this one clears the
WP:GNG.
