Feb. 9 from complications of dementia at Cogburn Health and Rehabilitation facility in Huntsville, Ala. He was 81.
From a syndicated Washington Post report:
Feigner (pronounced FAY-ner) was generally regarded as the greatest softball pitcher who ever lived.
At his peak, Feigner threw a softball harder than any major-league pitcher has ever thrown a baseball. His underhand fastball was once timed at 104 mph — or, according to some accounts, 114 mph. The fastest documented pitch thrown by a major-league pitcher is 103 mph.
FinzToRite faced Feigner when he was 15 . . . four pitches and he was gone.
