The King is gone

[Steve M]

I did not have the pleasure of geting to bat against him when I played, but I don't have any doubt that he threw over 100mph in his younger days. I umped a couple of his games, once when he was still an oustanding pitcher and the last time he would have been an excellent 'C' level pitcher - maybe even 'B' level.
I see a fair amount of men's upper level ball. I know there are several in the one league that are easily into the mid 80's, maybe higher.
One of the guys who's done some of my mentoring worked a couple of the Stofflet-Feigner games. Stofflet was another 100+ pitcher, so the "slow" guy in those games was around 105.
