The picture attached to this article does not appear to be Eddie Feigner. It looks like Jack Knight, long-time player on the KIng and His Court. 198.146.56.62 21:25, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I saw Eddie play in his prime back in the early 50's. My dad was a good softball player for many years here in MN. He played in the Classic leagues with some of the state's best teams and pitchers.
Once, he and some local all-stars played the King during an exhibition game. Eddie had an arm the size of a Sumo wrestler's leg. With a team of 4...himself, the catcher, a first basemen and a roaming infielder-outfielder, he embarrassed our best local teams.
As a part of the show, he used my dad, who at that time was a catcher, to demonstrate his curve ball, thrown blind-folded from second base. I remember him telling my dad: "You're gonna want to come out of your crouch to catch the ball as it's gonna break 3 feet or more, but just stay where you are!" Sure enough, it came back right on target.
Feigner just plain embarrassed my dad's team, and they had some great players that year. He pitched a no-hitter that night. We we proud of my dad though. He was the only one to foul off a pitch. Nobody else even got a bat on the ball.
Feigner was amazing. He was the Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Michael Jordan of his sport....the best that's ever been. I'm sure glad I got to see him in his prime.....Tom King
The article had to be deleted because it was mostly text copied from the Washington Post and other places. I have restored the newer introduction and saved the references so that someone can improve the article in the future. This is the major problem with text copied from elsewhere used on Wikipedia, because, generally, all revisions made after the text was copied have to be deleted. — Centrx→ talk • 21:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
