Anyone remember them? Another thread got me to thinking about them. They were four guys that would play the local team in a game of fast pitch, kind of like the Globetrotters of softball. They had slight rule variations, like leading off.
The pitcher had a great behind the back move to first that he would throw without looking. After I got into umpiring, I met a guy in Orlando that had got to umpire one of their games. He said it caught him sleeping and everyone in the park knew he had blown the call when he called the picked off runner safe.
I was about 12 when I saw them, but I seem to remember that the guy would pitch to a couple of batters from second base, striking them out.
