There are some great quotes about knuckleballs from the pros.

Charley Lau: "There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them works."

Bob Uecker: "The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up."

Willie Stargell: "Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox."

Jason Varitek, when asked "is it true you can't catch a knuckleball?": "Well, I'd say that [Tim Wakefield] has thrown over 3,000 knuckleballs and I know I've caught at least one of 'em."

Joe Torre: "You don't catch the knuckleball, you defend against it."

have a buddy who threw the knuckleball, would much rather face 90mph fast balls all day, what a hard pitch to get wood on the ball, loved watching R.A Dickey when he was with the jays pitch made some all star batters look pretty bad lol

i threw one a bit when i was younger and trust me if it ain't knucklin its just a fancy changeup and that isn't good lol but its working it is a fun thing to watch consistency is the only difference from a real pro and a guy that can just throw a knuckle ball
