Yup. My dad played for Kennecott Copper back in the 40s, after the war. He was a catcher but he also had a pretty good windmill pitch. He told me that a .200 average in fast-pitch was like a ,400 average in baseball. There was a pitcher for Local 57 who threw 4-5 perfect games a season.
They had the ASA AA slo-pitch nationals at Engineers Field one year. Some textile mill from North Carolina played the Nassau County (Long Island) Police Department in a best 2 of 3 series. Nassau County had a catcher (I can still remember the name) by the name of Evilsizer, and I never saw a guy whose name fit so well. Had to be about 350 lbs and none of it was fat.
