The recent rise of Mets knuckleball artist R.A. Dickey is highlighted in the film along with interviews of the few and the proud to find success with it like Charlie Hough, Phil Niekro and Tim Wakefield.
Below is a clip from the movie that talks about the pitch’s reputation. Check out www.knuckleballmovie.com for more info.
