Default King and His Court

I had a friend who was drafted (into the Army) in the late 1960's. He spent some time in Vietnam before returning to the states where he was assigned to an Army base(don't remember where) for the remainder of his service. He was a very good baseball and softball player and played on the base all-star softball team as a catcher. The team ended up playing an exhibition game against Feigner and the Court. In my friends first two times at bat, he had a single and a double. After the game, Feigner approached my friend and offered him a position on his team when he left the Army. He ended up catching Feigner for two years, but eventually quit, saying the travel was just brutal.
