The Incredible Backward Home Run -- Enough Said

It's the shot heard round the Internet.

This home run speaks for itself, so let's keep it simple.

Renaud Lefort of the Les 4 Chevaliers, a softball team in Quebec, Canada, cleared the bases with this behind-the-back swing.

As you can see, Lefort takes a right-handed stance but stands on the lefty side of the plate. He swings the bat around his back and connects with a shot that clears the outfield fence.

Without further ado, here's the homer everyone's talking about.

As Lefort circles the bases, even his opponents give him high-fives.

The Les 4 Chevaliers, which compares itself to the Harlem Globetrotters, is a four-man team that competes with regular teams while entertaining spectators with antics on the diamond. Half of the squad has played on Major League Baseball farm teams, though they haven't cracked into the big league.

The home run video was posted on the Chevaliers Facebook page July 30 but picked up steam this week.
