On the art of the knuckleball--a good read

[Transmogrifier]

A long read, but a good one. I'm not sure how many New Yorker readers we have here.

Thanks but I already know everything there is to know about knuckleballs as Scooter brought me up to speed.

“A knuckleball can change so close to the batter that he cannot physiologically adjust to it, so in some sense it’s impossible to hit a breaking knuckleball,” Adair says. “I mean, you can close your eyes and swing, and you might hit it . . .”

I've always loved trying to perfect the knuckleball. Good find, Transmo

Scooter is that dumb baseball that talked like th audience was 2 ears old on FOX and explained what a knuckleball was.

ahahahaha

I forgot about Scooter. Are they still using him, or have enough people complained, a la Spider-Man 2?

Hmmm... I missed Scooter entirely. When was this? Game 7?

It was during the first game this year that aired on FOX (yankees vs red sox). Not sure if he is still around.
