Eddie Feigner

Eddie Feigner, known as The King, was an American softball pitcher and entertainer, born Myrle Vernon King in Walla Walla, Washington, who lived from March 28, 1925 to February 9, 2007. After service in the U.S. Marine Corps he turned to softball full time and in 1946 assembled a four-man touring team, The King and His Court, which fielded only a pitcher, catcher, first baseman and shortstop. The team played more than ten thousand games in a hundred countries, and Feigner's own records claim 9,743 victories, 141,517 strikeouts and 930 no-hitters. In a 1967 charity game he struck out Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and four other major leaguers in a row, and in 2013 he was inducted into the Baseball Reliquary's Shrine of the Eternals.
