Q for Bob Ueucker:

"How do you catch Phil Neikro's knuckle ball?"

A: "I usually just wait until it stops rolling, run back and pick it up."

Knuckle ball pitchers tend to last a long time, because they don't tear up their elbows and shoulders with curves and sliders. Hough, Neikro, etc. Wakefield is 38 but still young for a knuckler.

New My little league coach could throw knuckle balls.
It was amazing to see that thing jump around. I have a lot of respect for hitters that can get the bat on them and get the ball in play.

Cheers,
Scott.
