Softball player belts mind-blowing backwards home run — VIDEO

We remember being blown away as kids by “The King and His Court” four-man fastpitch softball team, which routinely beat entire squads while putting on a Harlem Globetrotters-style show.
Pitcher Eddie “The King” Feigner died in 2007, but Renaud Lefort and Les 4 Chevaliers — French for “The Four Knights” — have carried on his tradition.
In a recent game for the Montreal-based quartet, Lefort hit a mind-boggling backwards home run. He stepped into the left-handed batter’s box but took his stance as a right-handed hitter, with his back facing home plate. He then somehow managed to whirl around and backhand the ball out of the park.
