Known as the greatest softball pitcher
who ever lived, Eddie Feigner first
assembled his four-man touring team,
known as "The King and His Court," in
1946. Almost unhitable, Feigner wanted a
two-man team of himself and catcher,
but added a third player in case an
opposing player got a hit. A fourth
player was needed in case all three of
his teammates were on base, there would
be someone to bat.
From the late 1940s to the beginning of the 21st century, Feigner's
meticulous records claim in over 10,000
exhibition games played; 9,743
victories, 141,517 strikeouts, 930
no-hitters and 238 perfect games. At
the
1967,
First
Annual All Star-Celebrity Softball
Spectacular exhibition game at
Dodger Stadium, Eddie Feigner, whose
fastball had been clocked at 104 MPH,
faced a lineup of six big leaguers,
striking out all six in order — Willie
Mays, Roberto Clemente, Brooks
Robinson, Willie McCovey, Maury Wills
and Harmon Killebrew.
The Adirondack Eddie Feigner "King and
His Court" official softball bats were
issued around 1968 through to the
1970s. The 1968-1971 No. 251 issue, featured a
crown after his barrel endorsement. The
1971-1970s No. 181F was issued with two
Barrel variations One reading "Official
Softball" above Eddie Feigner, and the
other reads "Big Stick"
The bulk of the value for a baseball
bat relies on the player endorsement,
and will vary based on player demand.
In general, Softball bats do not carry
a player endorsement, and condition
becomes more important for value. Two
exceptions are the
Goldsmith “Babe” Didrikson Official
Soft Ball bat, and this Adirondack
Eddie Feigner "King and His Court"
official softball bat.
