I have always admired knuckle ball pitchers. That is a real
skill to do it well. I could never get the hang of it.

He was my favorite Red Sox pitcher and , as far as I know, a really nice guy. RIP

The pitch has to be thrown with as little or no spin and at around the mid 50s MPH. Constantly..that is the trick.
Very few pitchers could/can get the hang of it and if they try without perfecting the pitch, its batting practice for hitters.
If a good K’baller has a decent fast ball to put in the mix, it raises hell with the batters.
The ball does things that defy imagination. Even to go up to hit against one will screw up a batters mind.

Tim Wakefield dies from brain cancer and his wife Stacy has pancreatic cancer.
That has to be related to the deadly vaccines.

I can throw a good, consistent knuckler with a softball, but never could get it right with a baseball. Hands too big, I guess.
