If he can make that thing juke, jive and dance, he can make a roster.

Is a waffle like a wiffle? Or an easily hittable pitch?

I love watching knuckleballers compete.

The Astros had a guy, I believe his name was Sid Fernandez, in 2003 that was a starting knuckleball pitcher.

Loved watching him pitch.

When you re-invent your game, the look must follow along.

Knuckleballers might be favorite thing in all of sports.

Also, catching for a knuckleballer would fricking suck

I was about to reply that you must have never caught one. But I agree with you. Knuckleballers are fun to watch. I'm old enough to remember watching the Niekro brothers pitch. Awesome stuff.

The article is good.
Talk about how he's thrown the knuckleball since he was a kid but you don't want to hit Buster Posey in the head with a bunch of knuckleballs

I think it was George Hendrick of the Cardinals in the 80's who demanded to have a day off when a Niekro pitched because he said the knuckleball screwed up his timing for a week...

One of my favorite memories was Posey jumping into Wilson's arms after winning the World Series. What a moment!
