Eddie - We
just ordered your book and DVD for our son, Kelly Fliear who worked
with you on the Big Island of Hawaii where you performed a few
years ago. He is a true baseball fan (still playing softball and
will be 50 next September) and he was so proud to have had the
opportunity to meet and work with you. The first thing he did
was call me about that event as he knew I was a big fan of yours.
I saw you in the late 40's or early 50's in Sheldon, Iowa where
you performed to your usual full house. My best to you and your
family -- Semper Fi from another former Marine!

My dad took
me to see you in the mid 1960's at Fleming field Yonkers NY. He
was a pitcher in a local league after the war, he served in Sipan.
Anyway i never forget those shows,the king and his court are truly
the most remarkable team in sports history!If you are in the NY
area this year i would like to find out where? I have some youngsters
who would be amazed! Just received your book and video and can't
wait to read it. Mr Feigner you truly are the King!
Thanks

I am 50 years
old and just got done telling some workers about Eddie. They never
heard of him nor believed the things he can do with a softball.
When I was a kid, my dad took me several times in NY to see the
Court play. I have beeen fascinated all my life from the memories
I have from the games. My dad was a windmill pitcher and taught
me. I don't know his name but god bless the catcher who stood
behind the plate for Eddie! Thanks for the wonderful lifetime
memories.

Greetings
Eddie:
It was great to see you again in San Bernardino. My best wishes
for happy health in the future. In my younger days I caught for
the CP Merchants in College Place. I believe you knew my uncle
John Willey, he at least knew Mike Meilicke, Meade Kinzer and
Jerry Jones. And I remembered we played the King and His Court
behind the elementary school there in College Place. You asked
me to come to your home and warm you up in your back backyard.
I've never caught a pitcher like you before or since. I really
like the fast pitch...it not only moves, it sings through the
air. The rise and drop were also impressive. A few weeks afterwards
we went to a pitching exhibition during half-time basketball game
in Columbia Auditorium. You held the microphone and talked to
the crowd about pitching. You threw a few pitches. Then came the
time for the fast ball (and I dreaded it a little because of any
pitch you presented this one had the greatest chance to get loose)
Sure enough I missed it as it went over my glove by a half inch
traveling 432 miles per hour (or so it seemed). It hit a young
lad behind me sitting on the stage. He turned his head and dropped
to the floor about four feet. But before we could get to him he
was up on his feet, the crowd cheered and we went in the locker
room and changed out of the King and His Court uniform. Eddie
you are an inspiration and my cheers!!!

I just wanted
to say thank you to the King and His Court for taking the time
to stop in Eastern WA. Because of you my dad Sully got the opportunity
to pitch again, something I never thought he would get to do.
I grew up watching him play against the very best in Fastpitch.
Since he will turn 70 in Dec. I thought his pitching days were
over. But you all gave him one more chance, and best of all his
grandchildren got to watch him. Pitching against you gave him
a taste of years gone by and gave his family a glimpse into his
past. He loves the game and since his retirement spends his time
giving pitching lessons to girls ages 5-20's. His way of giving
back to a game that has given him so much.
I know he loved being on the mound again, but the conversations
with you all after the game discussing the superstars of the game
meant so much to him. Being able to talk to others who actually
knew them as he had was great. Thank you once again and I hope
you return to our neck of the woods again soon.

Dear King
and Queen:
It was a
thrill to meet and have dinner with you when you came to Bangor.
I have seen you pitch several times as early as the 1950's I more
than fondly recall The King pitching blindfolded from second base
and throwing fast balls that hardly anyone could see but oh everyone
could hear the ball make a super smack into the catcher's mitt!
It was a deep priviledge to write a song called From an Orphan
to a King which is a mini song about the life of Eddie Feigner!
No song could do you justice but I hope it catches a glimpse of
your brilliance on the softball field and in the sports world
and beyond. There is one and never will be another Eddie Feigner.
You are much more than a sports figure you are a man that has
created, stirred,rekindled millions of memories in all of us who
have been honored to see and meet you and your lovely talented
wife Anne Marie.

We played
you on September 1, 2005 in Pasco, WA. We were the old guys, and
I am the Director of Boys & Girls Clubs. We had a great time
and enjoyed everything about the experience. Dennis, who played
on your team, is still talking about it. Thank you for the opportunity

G'day to
the Court!
My brothers
had me learn much of your great endeavour when I was young. They
had one of the actual coats which you men used to wear, saw you
play a number of times and had programs and autographs to showcase
their fondness for you.
I grew up
in a home with 6 children, 5 boys. Many sports, but baseball was
tops for me. So it was quite a shock when I later discovered we
had in our possession a framed portrait and the official plaque
(designating all the achievements) of Al Jackson.
It was acquired
through an auction of some kind, though now as I am older, I want
nothing more than be able to return these items to its rightful
owner. I am not even sure if Al is alive anymore or not.
If someone
from the current or past teams could please reach me via email,
I can pass along my telephone number, and we can begin the process
of delivering these memories back to where they are most desired.
Thank you
and all the best in the coming season.
Cheers, .s

Eddie;
You, Anne Marie and the team played North Bay a few weeks ago.
I told you about an experience I had when I was 13 years old.
In 1948 you played a game in Calgary Alberta. My dad was commanding
officer of the Royal Canadian Air Force base there and invited
you to give a pitching demonstration to the base team and air
force members that afternoon at the base. He also invited you
to dine with us at home after the demonstration. You accepted
both invitations and after dinner you asked me to be your batboy
for the game downtown that evening. What a thrill I had being
there watching you pitch that game. It has been a wonderful,lasting
memory for the past 57 years. Thank you for that. I know many
other youngsters will have had the same thrill as me. You have
touched the hearts of many folks. God Bless you for that.

Dear Mr.
Feigner,
I was so happy to find this site. Some of my fondest memories
of childhood are seeing you pitch in the late '50s and early '60s
at Hinchcliff Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey. You were in your
prime and I can recall how, as you were warming up, the gasps
from the crowd would increase as did the speed of your delivery.
No matter where you sat in the stadium the crack of your fastball
hitting the catcher's glove was incredible. I can still recall
how impossible it was even to see your fastball from the stands.
You would wind up, deliver, and an instant later there was that
loud crack! No one ever saw the ball. Not only did you always
mow down every team I saw you face, but you always ended with
an inspirational message about the things one can achieve. I like
to think it helped me get where I am today, teaching at the University
of Michigan.
It was such a joy racing down onto the field after the game to
get you your autograph on your program. Sadly those have disappeared
over the years, but you are still an inspiration.
God bless you and your family.

Eddie,
We just finished
reading your book. It is wonderful! I have seen you play about
a half dozen times over the years including the game vs. major
league all stars on television. It is a shame that video was lost.
(WAY before VCR's!) I spent twenty-five years in the US Navy and
saw you play three different times at three different bases. You
always put on a good show. I hope you will be posting a list of
locations where you will play next year. It would be a pleasure
and an honor to see you once more and shake your hand. You are
truly one of the all time great atheletes and one of the greatest
pitchers ever (not just SOFTBALL pitchers). Take care, God bless
you in the years ahead. Semper FI

Eddie &

After a recent move I was unpacking and came across a program
from a 1968 benefit stop in New Ulm, MN. It brought back great
memories... New Ulm is a real baseball hotbed and your stop really
was awesome. My dad Ray was on the challenging team along with
Dick Hudson, Randy Walker and Les Dietrich. These players were
truly the best of the best in southern MN fastpitch softball.
The show was unforgetable, thanks for the memories!

I enjoyed
the game. However, I wanted to ask the "king" if he
knew the Lord. As he signed my poster, I asked him if he was saved.
He replied, "you can't know that until the end of time."
When I told him that he could know now, he repeated his statement.
Pray for Eddie that the "king" will meet the King of
Kings, Jesus Christ. You can know you are saved now by asking
Jesus to forgive you of your sins and inviting him into your heart.
My prayer is for Eddie to be saved.

Were supposed to play Aug. 9th but a nasty storm postponed it
until the next day (they were gracious enough to stay another
day to get the game in for the fans). Had a wonderful time visiting
with the Court after the rain-out on the 9th and again when I
played against them on the 10th. They invited my son Steven to
be their bat boy which was great thrill for him (and me). All
of the Court are genuinely nice people and we really enjoyed seeing

When my husband

to tell me that his father played against you in Northern Quebec
way back in the days. My father in-law Edward (Ed) Bettiol used
to be a pitcher and played against you. I was told that he never
had a glove. My husband told me that he Ed played against you
and one of those games he got into a fight with you (that's how
he would always handle conflict) It's so interesting to hear these
stories and thought you would like to read this. All the best

I'll never forget the awsome display of pitching and how excited
I was when I knew he was coming to town. God bless you, Eddie,
and thanks for some of my greatest memories growing up. You can
be sure I'll be in Omaha on August 27!

see him pitch. I think I must have told him a hundred times how
awsome the man is on the field. Thanks for the memories. God bless

In the early
1980's I played ball for WBBQ Radio station in North Augusta,
SC. We had the pleasure of playing a warm-up game for the crowd
who later was treated to a game featuring The King and His Court.
During the feature game, Mr. Feigner demonstrated his deadly accuracy
by picking off a runner from 1st base with a blind, behind-the-back
bullet to his first baseman. The runner was absolutely flat-footed
and was out by 2 steps. Amazing!
The highlight was the pitching exhibition by The King after their
game. The last time I saw that kind of accuracy, it involved target
practice with a sniper rifle.
Mr. Feigner, Congratulations on 60 years! You are truly THE BEST.

In the mid
60's my Dad took me to see you play when you were in Ottawa (a
couple of times). I was quite the Daddy's girl and loved going
anywhere with him, but this outing has stayed with me all these
years! Dad explained to me that in the late 40's he had played
against you and that you were amazing (not likely - my Dad was
the BEST!!) - well I was wrong, and you really had him beat when
it came to playing ball!! I am sorry I missed you when you came
on July 17, but opted out because I probably would have turned
into a blubbering idiot with the flood of good memories that would
have come back at me. You see, Dad passed away in 1984 and I still
miss him terribly, and watching you play ball would have put me
back in that happy (and very misty eyed) place! Thank you so much
for doing what you do and bringing so many good memories to all
that are priveledged enough to experience your talent!!!

Back in the
late 60's my Dad took me to see The King and His Court in Staten
Island NY. I just took my son to see the show in Port Perry Ontario,
so we've come full circle...and it was a blast.
The talent
and showmanship (and show "woman" ship) were extremely
entertaining.
If you're
looking for a good fun night out you can't beat it. And in this
age of superstar athletes who don't have the courtesy to give
fans the time of day it was great seeing the players talking to
the kids, signing autographs and just making themselves available
long after the game was over.
The team
you guys played in Port Perry had some pretty good talent, and
I could see Hoppe's competitive fire....but he never lost sight
of "the show"...The banter by all the players was great.
Amazing show
guys...if you're out this way next year I'll be there.

Many years
ago, The King and His Court came to Lynn for a show. My dad took
my brother and I, and at the time I thought it was just going
to be another boring softball game but he promised me that this
one would be different. Now it's probably 25+ years later and
the King is returning to Lynn so I called my Dad and asked him
to go. I don't remember all the details of the day then, but what
I do remember is being amazed at the show and spending a beautiful
night with my Dad.

Just wanted
to say that I had the pleasure to see the 'Court' several years
ago in Cleveland and it was a very special and treasured time
for me. When I was younger, I remember my dad telling me about
a fabled man who was so good at softball that he and only a couple
other players would take on whole other teams and win. For the
longest time I chalked it up as exaggerated tales that he told
to spark my imagination. When I was living in Cleveland at the
time I saw Mr. Feigner, I couldn't believe it. I bought a program,
sent it my dad and we shared a laugh. He was so happy. Thank you
Mr. Feigner for not only being my childhood fantasy hero but now
my real-life hero.
All my best!

Just saw
the news asking for a sponsor to bring King and his court to Victoria
and Vancouver, BC.
I do hope it happens. I watched the team in Calgary in the early
1960's and couldn't believe my eyes. The pitcher stood blindfolded
on second base and pitched all 3 batters out! Amazing. The guys
had such antics and played around we laughed and laughed. They
held a reputation of always winning and sure enough, they won
the best team Calgary had to offer. Remember, there were only
4 of King and his court! Great entertainment.

I was just
a toddler then, but The King and His Court came to play my dad's
team at Fort Carson, CO in 1975 if I remember right. My dad got
to bat and of course Eddie struck him out. Neat thing is that
my dad is in his mid-50's and is still going strong as a pitcher
and was a multiple state champion in Montana. He's still going
after over 30 years and still winning, mostly trying to keep men's
fastpitch softball alive in Montana. Tonight I talked to him to
recall what it was like facing The King. I hope I get to see an
appearance again before Eddie hangs it up.

As mortals we grow old, but the legend lives on, the stories continue
to be told about the greatest pitcher in the game bar none. It
is unfortunate that todays young people could not have been around
at the time to witness the skills that have made you a legend.
God Bless You.

The thrill
of my life was playing a game as Eddie's shortstop back in 1967
or 68. I was stationed at Roosevelt Roads Naval Airstation and
Eddies shortstop and catcher missed a flight so were unable to
play. I was to play against Eddie but duty status forced me to
give up my spot. When I was let go early from duty I rushed to
the field to watch the game and to my surprise I got to play,
not against but for The King. Thanks for the great memory.

I was new
to past pitch softball back in 1968 while stationed at Eglin Air
Force Base in Florida. I made the base team and after a few weeks
playing, I was told one of our next games was against Eddie Faigner
of the King and His Court. I had no idea what I was into. I got
a hit - a slow dribbler down the 3rd base line that any 3rd baseman
would have gobbled up, but he doesn't have one. Next time up,
Eddie strikes me out blindfolded from 2nd base.
Thanks for the great memories Eddie - some moments you never forget.

and I caught. I really loved the game and sorry it died out in

A fellow

this team called The King and His Court that I had seen several
times growing up in the 60's & 70's at the Max Meyers Playground
in Philadelphia. It made me recall an amazing display of athleticism
that impressed me so much. I looked forward to their every return
just to witness their incredible talents and antics. Most times
I was at the field by myself and would stand close to the team
and was able to hear them do their thing because the stands were
only a few feet behind their bench. Little did I know that I was
watching sports history and, unfortunately, never took a picture
to capture it. My memory has never been good - yet I vividly recall
the team's performances. You guys were, and will always be, the
best. Thank you for being you and may you continue to bring joy,

My father
told me many stories of the "King and His Court" as
a young boy growing up. He had seen the King play several times.
Then I read the story that appeared in Sports Illustrated many
years ago and I have been a fan ever since. I would have loved
to seen him play in his prime! Mark

Through some
research and several phone calls I found out the sponsor for the
July 9th event in McLean, VA is the McLean Little League. Their
posters are currently being printed and they will have event details
on their website in the next week or so. Their site is www.mcleanll.com

Hi Eddie,Les
your Catcher told me about your website. My father took me to
see you when you came to Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA. I think it
was either 1957 or 58. I still remember I sat right near first
base. "What a surprise that runner got when you pitched that
ball behind your back and threw him out. WOW. I was 12...You inspired
me into a pitching career which I enjoyed. Saved me from the streets.
You have done wonders for kids over the years. Thanks for all
the memories."You are the KING"

I saw Eddie
and his Court play while I was a junior in high school over 40
years ago. I can still remember how great it was and what a remarkable
talent I was seeing that day. The current NCAA Women's Softball
tourment got me talking about Eddie to my kids so I visited your
website. That was great.

I played
against Ed at Thelen Stadium in Chicago in 1958. We were one of
the best fastpitch softball teams in Milwaukee,WI at the time.
He, of course, beat us 9-2. I faced him 3 times in rhe game. The
first time he struck me out blindfoled, then 2nd time he struck
me out from 2nd base. The last time up he piched to me from center
field and I someout got a hit.He also pitched to others on my
team by throwing the ball behind his back. I played baseball for
4 years in high school, but switched to fastpitch softball after
high school. The game is much quicker & more fun.Playing against
Ed was the highlight of my career.
Thanks,

I wrote to
Stern Electronics to suggest making an Eddie Feigner pinball.
After my suggestion I learned that Bally is out of business, Stern
Electronics is the only maker of pinball at this time.
Below is the exchange I ahd with the contacts at Stern Electronics:

Eddie Feigner, the pitcher and founder of The King and His Court
fastpitch four person softball team, would, in my humble opinion,
make a great theme for a pinball machine. But it appears Stern
is the last venue of possibly creating one. If you still make
a few per year, consider this as the theme. Visit www.kingandhiscourt
website to contact Eddie's wife, Anne Marie if this could become
a product of yours.
Eddie Feigner is an American legend, and Evel Knieval (who is
a theme of a pinball machine from Bally that I own) modeled his
uniform after Eddie Feigner's. Eddie is also a friend of Gordie
Howe, who also has a machine themed after him.
Just adding a thought to your company.

Dear Mr.
Feigner,
I was blessed
to see you pitch three times in the late sixties/early seventies
in the Philadelphia area. Twice against the great George Ulmer
of Flatiron fame. Your skills were amazing. Your showmanship was
wonderful. Those games are beautiful memories for me and my Dad
who is now eighty.
Thank you
for sharing your gift with the world and providing all who watched
you perform with memories for a lifetime. God bless you.

about the way i do things so much more different. You are a great
friend im very blessed to of had the chance to meet you.
nikki sys thank you for the memeory book. she just received hers

Saw your
team for the first time on May 31, in Madison WI, but I have heard
of you for many years. I bought your book, and have already read
it. I grew up in the same era as Eddie writes about. I threw stones
at streetlights too, and polished my skills on the sandlots of
America. Eddie needs a pinball machine made with The King and
His Court as the theme. All the greats have had one made after
them, even Gordie Howe (registered name). Contact Bally in Chicago
and give them the idea, I am sure you will be given artistic input.
I would love to play this pinball game (the flippers could be
replicas of bats, a fast pitch ball chute could be a feature,
Annie Marie could be the "babe" they always have on
the backglass (no offense Annie Marie), etc). My only regret is
that I never got to play/bat against Mr. Feigner, that would have
been so cool even if I would have been striked out. God Bless
you all, it was a real treat to me a fan of yours forever, seeing
you play.

I first saw
The King and his Court in Eau Claire, WI at Carson Park (Henry
Aaron field) in 1964 when I was 14 yrs. old. I remember how gracious,
skilled and fun loving Eddie was with the fans, especially us
kids. Eddie is a great American and he always thought of others
first. I know God has embraced him and blesses us with his presence.
Thank You Eddie.

Saw the show
yesterday. I felt a little mis-lead when the King showed up on
the sidelines and didn't play at all. I wish I would have had
a chance to see him pitch. The talent was great and the show was
entertaining. Thanks for the memories.

I have never
seen the KING in person, only on tv, but it made a lasting inpression
on me. I put him with all the greats in their sport, the likes
of the "Babe", "Michael Jorden",
and "Jim Brown", and the "King" for softball.
I hope to see you in person this July in Rahway NJ.

Mr. Feigner,
Thank You Very Much for hours of entertainment you have brought
to our family over the years. Our whole family would come to to
see The King and His Court at Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson,
NJ. The teams entertainment style and your pitching ability will
always be something I will remember. The last time I saw you pitch
was in Wayne, NJ, Playing the local Ford Dealership Team. At that
time, I noticed that you were having trouble with your knees.
My father had knee replacement surgery just prior to your game
in Wayne. To his credit, he was in the grandstands that night
with us. I hope that if you had the same surgery, that you are
doing as well as he has. I look forward to seeing you in Mt Olive,
NJ in July. My family and I wish you a very Happy Birthday and
a Very Sucessful 2005 Tour. Thank You , Russ
