Eddie Feigner

(from the Saturday 2-10-2007 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

Eddie Feigner, the hard-throwing softball showman who barnstormed for five decades with the four-man team "The King and His Court," died Friday in Huntsville, Ala. He was 81.

In more than 10,000 games, Feigner threw 930 no-hitters and 238 perfect games. Playing with just a catcher, first baseman and shortstop, he pitched from second base, behind his back, on his knees, between his legs, from center field, and blindfolded.
