Division History

You May or may not be aware of it but this is the Breaker Divisions 9th season of play. We have a lot of veterans but we love all the new people every season. You can view the division archives on the division webpage for an overview of all the teams who have ever played in our illustrious division.

The history can get a bit tricky as players leave existing teams to join or create new ones for a variety of reasons. They may be unhappy with their current team, have more friends than can fit on their old team or they join the team of whoever they are jumping into bed with that week (that's our favorite excuse btw).

Here I will try to give you a bit of a history of the genesis of the more veteran teams in the division.

99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One: The core of this team was created in Fall 2009 in one of the worst experiments in team building ever in the history of kickball. Elements of Smack My Pitch Up branched off to create what ended up being the worst kickball team the division has ever seen. In Winter 2010 the core recombined with SMPU and created 99 Problems. Over the Summer, the core of 99 Problems played in the Big Guava division with Asstastic Balls and poached many of the best players from that team, along with some other teams, to play for the much improved 99 Problems. Though there are 7 players from that Raging Balls team, this current team should bear very little resemblance to that lovable band of losers.

Asstastic Balls: This has historically been one of the most fun teams in the division. The core of that team started in the Fall of 2008 as I'd Hit It. They had won the Crystal Pitcher (basically the award for the coolest team) 3 times and changed their team name each time. They went from I'd Hit It, I'd Hit It Again, I Already Hit That and then for whatever reason changed their name to Who's Got Asstastic Balls which has since been shortened to just Asstastic Balls. This team also played over the summer in the FL Big Guava division.

Baller I Hardly Know Her: This is mostly a new team but their core derived from last season's Don't Go Chasing Waterball. They were combined with another new group of people to form this season's team.

Balls N Dolls: The leadership for this team played on last season's Cleats and Cleavage.

MasterBatters: Last season this team was known as Looking to Score. They are the reigning Crystal Pitcher champions (even though they lost their trophy thanks to a mixture of alcohol and hormones). Asstastic Balls still seem a little bitter that this group beat them in an extremely close Crystal Pitcher ballot. They have a new name and a new color but expect this team to be a lot of fun.

Quit Yer Pitchin: This is one of our most veteran teams. They started in Fall 2008. They are hard to recognize since they switch colors every season. They have been Navy, Maroon, Red, Purple and now Royal Blue. This season they had a bit of an identity crisis. They combined with another group called Swamp Balls and were going by that name up until right before the season started. Their identity crisis seems to manifest itself on the field as well as you never really know how they will play. At times they are amazing and at others they look like the reincarnation of Raging Balls. One thing that is consistent though is that they are a fun group of people to chill with.

Seminoles: Ahh the Seminoles. The team that everyone loves to hate. These guys are by far our most veteran team. This trash talking team traces their origins to Winter 2007. They tend to be perennial favorites and have won the playoff tournament 4 times while posting the best record in the regular season once. They have a reputation for arguing the rules a lot and not going to the bar (you can understand why people like them so much). In Week one I spotted several of them at the bar so maybe this year they will argue the rules a little less as well. Everyone loves to hate on these guys but truth is, Breaker probably wouldn't be the same without them. Plus, some of those Seminoles can be nice to look at.

We've Got The Runs: This team had its beginnings in Fall 2009. Made up of mostly nurses, this is the team to visit if you get injured. Like, Quit Yer Pitchin, they change their t-shirt color every season. They have been Royal Blue, Maroon and now Carolina Blue. This season they picked up quite a few players from Debauchery from this Summer's Big Guava division. They are hoping that Debauchery's players, and their 2nd place finish in the summer, will help We've Got The Runs win more than their usual 2 games this season.

And now a picture that has nothing to do with the division history but its still pretty funny.
