The History Behind The Puppets.
The organization was not just a spur of the moment idea, it took many years of planning. It was in the owners best interest to wait for the right moment to introduce his team. So when the owner was able to convince his team they could compete in the Elk Grove League, he signed them up. The Puppets were originally members of the Shit Head Baseball League, a league that was founded by two pioneers who had a dream. Their dream became a reality, and from there they decided to move into softball. Shortly after their departure the Shit Head League went under, and the Elk Grove League became complete. The team is the youngest in the league with some players not even of a legal drinking age, while others still in diapers. Despite the inexperience, they bring an element of excitement to the game.
