How to Throw a Knuckleball

This post isn't about Texas basketball legend Major Applewhite. It's not about pro golfer Carmelo "Anthony" Woods. It's not about elder statesman Dave Corzine. It's not about the roof collapsing in Minnesota. It's not about any of that. It's about how to throw a knuckle ball.

For the uninitiated, a knuckle ball -- or "knuckler," as those of us in the sports world call it -- is a dirty little pitch only a handful of special players know how to throw. Dusty Baker was one of the best knuckle ball pitchers ever to grace the pigiron.

I know what you're thinking. You probably want to hire me on a private consulting basis so I can teach you first-hand how to throw a knuckler. Sorry Charlie, my schedule's full.

Don't worry though. I'm not gonna tease you with all this valuable info and leave you hanging. Instead, here's a wonderfully instructional video on how to throw a knuckleball. If you have questions after the video let me know.
