I'm somewhat of a newcomer to the NH Baseball scene, so I've got a couple of questions, and maybe will warrant multiple threads...

Who, historically, are the perennial powers in NH when it comes Class L baseball?
Is there any major/minor league talent in NH this year?
What's the playoff format like? Do they play at Merchants.Com Stadium?
Who's the favorite to win it all in Class L this year?

Thanks for any info from any baseball guys out there.
