I can only think of one... R. A. Dickey of the Mets

All I can say to Tim And the rest of the Red Sox is there ain't no such thing as a Happy Valentine's Day.

I wish I had the pension he’ll be eligible for.

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

Wakefield’s had a great run. My college roommate saw Wakefield play for the Carolina Mudcats, and I’ve kept an eye on his career ever since. There is almost always one knuckleballer around — it took a few years for Wakefield to take up Niekro’s torch. We’ll see someone emerge in the next few years.

Bob Uecker, when asked how to catch a knuckleball: “I wait until it stops rolling, then pick it up”.

Most likely seems to be Seattle Mariners’ Charlie Haeger. Many pitchers, BTW, push a knuckleball on rare occasions.

Sadly... the Twins will pick him up and pay him $25M for one year.
