Softball player somehow hits HR on behind-the-back swing, makes you question everything

Softball player hits dinger on behind-the-back swing

Finally answering the eternal question "What if fastpitch softball had its own Globetrotters?", Les 4 Chevaliers -- French for "The Four Knights" -- are a Montreal-based quartet that apparently roam the country pulling off increasingly incredible things on the diamond. Renaud Lefort is one of their members, and, having grown tired of traditional batting, he decided to get a little crazy during a game last week: Lefort walked into the left-handed batter's box, but took his stance as a righty, so his back was facing home plate.

He managed to somehow hit a home run anyway:

Renaud Lefort "backward swing"

Incroyable!!!

We, for one, welcome our new softball overlords. May they perform witchcraft beyond our comprehension forever and ever, amen.
