- Summary
- The knuckleball -- so difficult to hit but also difficult to control and catch -- has been a part of major league baseball since the early 1900s and continues to be used to this day. This remarkable and unusual pitch is the instrument of a special breed of pitcher, a determined athlete possessing tremendous concentration, self confidence, and a willingness to weather all kinds of adversity. Here, Richard A. Johnson provides an informal history of the wildest, weirdest, most mesmerizing pitch of all time.
