King in the farthest distance segment of last year\u2019s Home Run Derby during the Veterans Classic Softball Tournament.&nbsp; The challenge was on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up to the plate was Dave Emmons, who, like Chuck, has a stellar history of sending softballs into Birdville.&nbsp; So, when Dave spanked the ball, the crowd gasped as it took off in the same trajectory as Chuck\u2019s.&nbsp; However, it landed 344 feet away, just one foot farther than Chuck\u2019s.&nbsp; Jokingly, Chuck says his would have gone farther had it \u201cnot nicked the branch,\u201d plus he \u201chad the wind against him while the wind favored Dave.\u201d&nbsp; Hey, I\u2019m not trying to get into the middle of this \u2013 I\u2019m just writin\u2019 the story.&nbsp; So Dave won last year\u2019s farthest distance portion of the contest by inches.&nbsp; However, Chuck won the Home Run Derby in 2024 hitting 15 home runs out of 20 pitches, and also won the 2023 Derby, while Dave won it in 2022.&nbsp;

since the late \u201880s in Pittsburgh leagues and at higher traveling team levels.&nbsp; Dave, having played softball now for 45 years, has always been a home run hitter in his New Jersey stomping

Batters who play in the Monday\/Wednesday league hit from the pitcher\u2019s mound, eyeballing the fence from approximately 200\u2019 away.&nbsp; Sluggers (KBS &#8211; known bird scramblers), who play in the Tuesday\/Thursday league hit from home plate, scoffing at the fence being a mere 250\u2019 away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why not give it a shot?&nbsp; Embarrass yourself \u2026 I mean, test your muscle memory.&nbsp; Become Walter Mitty.&nbsp; Who knows, you could be the next KBS.&nbsp; Or, just come on out to cheer on our veterans in the fourth annual Veterans Classic Softball Tournament
