I'm adding this post just for a hoot. --
It's about the "knuckleball" in baseball.
"Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox." -- former Pittsburgh Pirate great, Willie Stargell
R.A. Dickey was once my favorite Major League Baseball player; especially during the years when he pitched for my favorite team, the Toronto Blue Jays. When he was on his game, this knuckleball pitcher was amazing to watch. He's retired now. I don't think there are any pitchers that throw the knuckleball in Major League Baseball today. Anyway, here's a youtube video of R.A. Dickey showing off his knuckleball:
