History
Started in 2009, the Muhfuggers are a misfit softball team in the Northrop Grumman League in Redondo Beach, California. Caesar "Papa Poi" Longboy, former founder of the Poi Pounders, decided to return to softball.
Retired from softball for 5 years, he always thought it would be cool to have a team called the Muhfuggers. He half heartedly wanted to create a team that was "fun" again. A team where players of different skill levels and a myriad of personalities can converge to make one great team ... a team that will be known around the league as the team that has the most fun, win or lose. He knew the Muhfuggers name itself would either would evoke a smile or a gasp whenever spoken or heard. However, it was just a notion that he and his friends were kicking around throughout his years of retirement.
El Guapo, Rico Rivas, a loyal Poi Pounder throughout the years, contacted Caesar when he heard that he was thinking of making a come back with a "misfit" team. "Is it true that you are making a B league team? I want to play on a fun team. I am tired of blowing out other teams!!" he says. "I got players!! How much do we need??"
Caesar shrugged. "Nah, I don't think so" Because he never thought he going to find enough players to field a team anyway. Besides, Caesar's legs were shot after years of softball. Not to mention, he sucks at softball!! Why would he do a stupid thing like fielding a team?
Another Poi Pounder, Pedro "Marionetta" Frias, also inquired about the team and urged Caesar to make it happen. Caesar felt if he made a team, Pedro would really be able to showcase his talents.
The cries for a misfit team and the inquiries grew. The gang started talking about "remember whens" more frequently. Future prospect players were frequently coming up with great ideas if there was a team.
More, the thoughts of making the Muhfuggers haunted his thoughts and permeated his dreams. Caesar thought he'd ask around just to see who would be interested. He was surprised that there was actually quite a few people out there willing to play on a misfit team. So much, that he had to turn away a few people.
After he consulted with his most favorite girl in the entire universe, Deej (also a former Poi Pounder), the Muhfuggers concept became a reality!!
