History
The Sikeston Bulls joined the KIT League in 2004 in Sikeston, Missouri, which had been the previous home of the ill-fated "Bootheel Bombers", not to be confused with the Dexter, Missouri boxing club of the same name. The Bootheel Bombers played for one season in Sikeston, but then disappeared. The new team, the Sikeston Bulls, participated in the regular season play of the KIT League since the team's inception.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
