Speaking of CFL, about 8 years ago, I went up against Doug Flutie in a men's fast-pitch softball league in Framingham, MA. He was playing right center field and I hit a liner to the fence between him and the right fielder...an "easy" home run with my speed, the distance the outfielder would need to run to track my ball, and with the outfield fence a good 350 to 400 feet from home. As I rounded third I heard my teammates yell a few octaves louder, although the sounds of their voices were muted by the following sound: PFSSSSSSSST coming from my left shoulder. I picked up the pace but had to slide into home as I narrowly beat the throw that had come on a line (no bounce, no air, no cut-off) from the right center field fence. I will never forget that sound!
