The PKL has a great history of teams that keep coming back for more – but many teams have come and gone. Here are some interesting ones, before we forget even more about them.

Teams and Themes of Note in History

2002 – Rock Balls: The uniform was a gray t-shirt with “Rock Balls” in blue lettering. Eh, not much of a theme, but it was the beginning of something good.

2002-2006 – Decatur Defenders/Decapitators: Simply the drinking-est team in league history. Yes, even more than the Shakedown.

2003 – Uniballers: Orange prison jumpsuits spoofing the unibomber.

2004 – Body Snatchers: The team would dress in the uniform of their opponents, making life difficult for the umps. At the end of their games, they would attack and “body snatch” a member of the opposing team, making them one of their own.

2005 – Trauma Center: Nurse/EMT scrubs for the uniform, with the exception of Kate who was the “Naughty Nurse” and during the first game, gave birth to a kickball. We believe that this incarnation lost the championship game to CBP in their undefeated season.

2005 – Word Nerds: Think Revenge of the Nerds meets Revenge of the Nerds II. Most notable for reading books in the outfield and ignoring the ball. Also, they somehow managed to get “protection” from the Daggers, much like Pedro and the chollos.

2005-2007 – the Daggers: Thugs with hearts of gold. Probably best known for a few skuffles and shivvings, as well as the famous “flag” incident involving Team Kevin. Another great moment occurred when they “stabbed” a heckling onlooker Jamie Re. The following game, Zomboree drove onto the field blaring Thriller to resurrect the poor man as a zombie.

2006 – Alan Shawn Feinstein Jr. Kickball Scholars: The uniforms were forgotten orphan clothes with an iron on version of the Feinstein billboards. This was an undefeated season with a win over The Untouchiballs in the championship. It was also the last year for the only remaining “Rock Ball” member, Jason Pontius.

2007 – Kings of Kickball: Uniforms were interpretations of kings (Burger King, Elvis, traditional kings, etc)

2008 – St. Sebastian’s Home for the Elderly and Convalescent: Simple enough… they dressed like old people, complete with walkers and those huge sunglasses. They had so much fun with this theme that they brought it back for another season.

2005-? – Of course, the Stilettos. Who can forget this team? Certainly none of the men they gave crabs to.

Lineage

The horizontal line denotes a lineage. Italics denote a shaky lineage, in that membership and leadership may have changed dramatically except for a few key players.
