Wilhelm said in 1969 : "I don't even try to fool anybody. I just throw the knuckleball 85 to 90 percent of the time. You don't need variations, because the damn ball jumps around so crazily, it's like having a hundred pitches."

Kinda why I liked having Tim Wakefield around. When he was here, kids all over tried to master the knuckleball.

Wilhelm and Earl Averill are the only Hall of Famers to hit a home run in their first ML at-bat...but wasn't there someone recently? Anyone?
