Knuckleballs Quotes

• Como una religión de culto que sobrevive a duras penas, siempre ha habido al menos uno, pero rara vez más de cinco o seis devotos lanzando la bola de nudillos en las grandes ligas . . . No sólo los lanzadores no pueden controlarla, los bateadores no pueden batearla, los receptores no pueden atraparla, los entrenadores no pueden entrenarla y la mayoría de los lanzadores no pueden aprenderla. El lanzamiento perfecto.
