Hoyt Wilhelm

Knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm, the first reliever elected to the Hall of Fame and the last pitcher to throw a no-hitter against the New York Yankees, has died.

My dad always said he was the best he's ever seen, and that he's the reason catchers switched to oversized mitts.

The man hit a home run in his very first at bat, and then never hit another one.

Anybody ever seen him play?
